Nordtoften 22

Fantastic ceiling height, wonderful light and a lovely, unspoilt view of the garden are recurring themes in this well-appointed single-storey house, whose layout seems tailor-made for the modern family with children. The location follows suit, with just a few hundred metres to the fjord and everyday essentials close by.

The interior unfolds on one level across 187 square metres, brought together in an attractive open-plan layout. Here you get three rooms: an ideal main bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a perfect children’s wing, each with its own bathroom. The living area in particular has a quite fantastic sense of space. Just look at how the ceiling rises high to the ridge, and how floor-to-ceiling windows bring nature into the home – you can hardly tell where the living room ends and the garden begins.

The architecture is both modern and timeless, with a zinc-clad façade that adds to a clean-lined, exclusive look. The house was designed by the renowned architectural practice Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects, known among other things for the Royal Danish Library’s striking extension, Den Sorte Diamant (the Black Diamond), in Copenhagen.

The property was built with a focus on both aesthetics and energy efficiency. Both ground-source heating and an air-to-air heat pump have been installed, ensuring efficient, eco-friendly heating all year round.

The house sits on a peaceful road and has a lovely garden. The inviting outdoor space can be reached from the living room as well as the open-plan kitchen-diner, two of the rooms and one of the bathrooms, which is large, with a rain shower, a bath and laundry facilities. You can also enjoy the sun on the west-facing terrace, which is pleasantly private within the enclosed garden. On arrival at the address you are also greeted by a carport and a practical outbuilding.

Jyllinge is just the place to settle if you dream of a family-friendly location with nature close to your front door: for example, it is only about 300 metres to Roskilde Fjord. Childcare nearby can be reached on foot, and schools are within cycling distance. A short drive also takes you to everything the town has to offer, from specialist shops and groceries at Jyllinge Centret to a range of sports activities, a community-run café with sea views, the charming harbour and Klinten, which offers swimming and fine views over the fjord. Even with everything within reach, you can also easily head for Copenhagen, as the drive to the city takes only around 40 minutes.

We look forward to meeting you at a viewing.
