Culturally Historic Villa in Höganäs – Three Floors Defined by Craftsmanship and Respect


Järnvägsgatan 1 is not a villa in the traditional sense. It is a piece of built history. A house where every cornice, every fitting, every joint in the masonry bears traces of a time when materials and craftsmanship were valued more highly than speed.


The property was built in 1927 on a corner lot in the heart of Höganäs. The plot is carefully framed by wrought iron fencing, both designed and crafted by the owner. The front gates once formed the entrance to the grand Widding garden and park, dating back to the late 1800s. They still stand today, aligned with the home’s beautiful setting, marking the transition into a garden that is truly something out of the ordinary. The vegetation is mature, varied, and thoughtfully planned. The result is a sheltered space in harmony with the house’s weight and history.


The villa comprises three full floors with a total area of 362 square meters. The layout is classic and uninterrupted, with the entrance level offering interconnecting reception rooms, a rounded dining room with access to a glassed-in terrace, a kitchen in two sections, a bathroom, and an additional room suitable as a library or office. Throughout the home, original core wood windows, oak parquet flooring, and preserved joinery speak to a dedication to heritage—maintained with an understanding of their origins. Modern functionality is present but always discreet. Every change made has served to enhance the home’s story rather than overwrite it.


Upstairs features a spacious living room with a bay window and beautiful wrought iron railing, several bedrooms, a bathroom, and an office. The attic includes another lounge and a bedroom, where the exposed roof structure, beams, and handcrafted stair railing reinforce the home's unique character.
The basement is in practical condition, housing storage rooms, a laundry room, a pantry, and a utility cellar. A garage with space for four cars is integrated into the structure of the property and executed with the same care as the rest of the estate.


This is a property for a buyer who understands the value of preservation. Who sees beauty in the hand-pulled glass of the original windows, in hand-forged wrought iron details, in a whole that has remained untouched for nearly a century. It is not a residence seeking an audience—it requires a new owner who wishes to continue its story rather than start anew.
