Åtoften 28

Let your house hunt take you to the lovely coastal town of Nivå, a short train ride or drive north of Copenhagen – and within walking distance of the Kystbanen coastal line you can now find a home in an attractive courtyard house in the popular Åtoften development.

The development is safe and family-friendly, as the many courtyard houses are linked by a network of car-free paths, so there is no traffic – instead there are green communal areas and a large playground for the children. There are also two car parks, and your house is perfectly placed just a few steps from one of them, so it is only a short way to your door when you come home with the day’s shopping. Here in Åtoften there is a strong sense of neighbourliness, and it is a place where children run around safely between their playmates.

You get an architect-designed ’60s house built of yellow brick and good materials. The home has 135 square metres on one level, which you can make your own with paint and modern updates. The space includes a utility room, a bathroom and an extra toilet adjoining one of the two rooms, which can easily be turned into three.

When you get together, it will be in either the open-plan kitchen-diner or the spacious living room, where light streams in from the south through the large windows so typical of ’60s architecture. Between the two living spaces there is also a door leading out to the courtyard garden, which gives you a completely private and sunny outdoor space for summer days.

The location deserves a chapter of its own, as Åtoften lies right between nature on one side and the town on the other. The development opens out towards the meadow and the river valley, where you can enjoy plenty of walks and runs – towards the old mill and Nivå Kirke, or out towards the Øresund. You are within walking distance of the beach and the life of the harbour, and you will also be neighbours to old Nivå, where you will find everything from a nice shop and the popular bakery Antons to a yoga studio and the Nivaagaards Malerisamling art museum. Nivå is a fast-developing town, and close to the address the new town centre is springing up, with a school, a cultural centre and good shopping, among other things.

We look forward to meeting you at a viewing.
