Gilleleje Hovedgade 39

Now you have the chance to own a piece of Gilleleje’s history. Havnefogedens Hus (the Harbour Master’s House), which has been part of the town’s maritime story for generations, is now for sale – and it is not just a property, but a home with soul.

The property was originally built at the end of the 1800s and looks handsome with its classic thatched roof and blue, multi-paned windows, which immediately bring to mind the days when Gilleleje was a quiet fishing village. Today the town has grown lively and attractive – and the house is right in the middle of it all, on atmospheric Gilleleje Hovedgade, just a few minutes’ walk from the harbour, the beach, the station and the town’s many cafés and shops.

The main house has 158 square metres spread over two floors. The ground floor offers an entrance hall, bathroom, kitchen, two living rooms and a room – and one of the living rooms could easily be turned into another bedroom. On the first floor you will find one large, open space with a living area at one end and a bedroom at the other – ideal as a master bedroom, a children’s wing or something else entirely.
The exposed beams, the crackling wood-burning stove and the light throughout give the whole house a warm, inviting feel.

As something quite special, there is also a detached annexe with three spare rooms. Today it is used as guest quarters and a hobby room, but it holds great potential if it gets some love: set up an office at the top with a view of the boat masts, a perfect teenager’s room with privacy, or use both floors for hobbies, storage or a creative workshop.

From the garden you can see the sea and – on clear days – all the way to the coast of Sweden. Here you can sit in the sun and feel the closeness of the water, the wind and the life of the harbour town.

This is a home that rarely comes on the market, with both space and potential. A house where history lives on – and where you can put your own stamp on it and write the next chapter.

We look forward to meeting you at a viewing.
