Hf. Birkevang 58

ALLOTMENT GARDEN WITH YEAR-ROUND LIVING, WITHIN CYCLING DISTANCE OF CENTRAL COPENHAGEN

Allotment gardens (kolonihaver) approved for year-round living combine the best of life in a detached house with genuine summer pleasures – which is why living somewhere like Hf. Birkevang 58 is so highly sought after. Here you will have Vestvolden in your back garden and the good life at the top of the agenda, while the heart of Copenhagen is just a bike ride away.

The garden gate says 58, and behind it hides a true oasis of idyll. Conifers and chopped firewood help bring the lovely north-facing front garden to life, and it is just a taste of the plot’s many qualities. A terrace linking the main house, the annexe and the lawns almost always has a sunny spot, and its shape is perfect for gathering friends and family under festoon lights for the cosiest barbecue dinners.

The black-painted wooden house from 1947 is by now a lady of a certain age, but you certainly would not know it when you settle into its 50 square metres. Painted wooden floors and a charming interior that speaks straight to the heart of what you expect from an allotment house create a warm atmosphere throughout. The layout consists of a living room, a kitchen, a room, a utility room, a bathroom and a conservatory, and the quirky floor plan, like the atmosphere, helps create a unique kind of cosiness.

Such a quirky design appeals especially to singles, couples and single parents who have fallen in love with nature but refuse to give up Copenhagen. Here you have everything you need, with no unnecessary distractions from the important things such as togetherness and love, peace and quiet.

The large living area has the wood-burning stove as a lovely focal point, while the conservatory acts as another room for getting together, even closer to nature here without compromising on warmth. The kitchen is designed with minimal space for useless kitchen gadgets, yet there is still worktop space for chopping vegetables and all the major appliances. The bathroom keeps up the style too, with a beautiful choice of colours and nothing unnecessary, while the practical utility room provides space for storage, drying clothes and creative pursuits such as making jam and home brewing. Finally, there is the zoned bedroom, with room for beauty sleep, a wardrobe and even a small cosy corner.

This paradise is found in Husum’s most popular area, flanked here by several sought-after allotment associations, all of which can boast a stellar neighbourly spirit and sense of community. Located right by the deep, still calm of Vestvolden, this peaceful spot can easily rival the countryside’s nature – and all without taking away the closeness to the city. You have a wide range of shops and public transport all along Frederikssundsvej, and if you carry on towards the city, it is 8 km in a straight line to Nørreport.

You will love living here!
