On a corner plot, surrounded by large deciduous trees, sits this elegant 19th century villa. Peacefully and centrally located in the picturesque city of Vadstena, the house is nestled among fruit trees, bushes and plants creating a private oasis. Across the street is the beautiful monastery church and from the kitchen window the top of the Red Tower is visible, two classic silhouettes of the city, rich in history.

Through a beautiful double wooden door, an entrance leads you into the charming kitchen with built-in furnishings up to ceiling height and a classic tiled stove in the middle of the room. Straight ahead, via another double door with slatted glass sections, a foyer opens to the salon - the heart of the house with magnificent light pouring in from large windows. In line with the salon is a dining room and a small library with windows facing the garden. Upstairs is a larger family room with several skylights and in total the house contains more than five possible bedrooms.

The villa was originally built in 1857 as a residence for the handyman at Vadstena Hospital, then called Sysslomannabostället. The builders were the well-known Nyström brothers who built several mansions in the county during the 19th century. The house came to be part of the Hospital until the second half of the 20th century, when it passed to the Daughters of Mary. They ran a guesthouse there until 1997, when the current owners took over and rebuilt the villa into a residential building.

Today, Klosterledsgatan 3 offers a perfect historic home with a lush garden and walking distance to all the city's sights and everyday services.
