If you’ve ever fantasized about living in a historic building—or packing your bags for Sweden—here’s your chance to do both. Located in the quaint area of Nynäshamn, a 45-minute drive from Stockholm, this home is set in a train station designed in 1901 by Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg.

A bright-red roof caps the transformed station, which rests in a convenient, central location in the town of Nynäshamn. A shingle-clad, mustard-hued facade amps up the home’s curb appeal.

The former hall has been transformed into the main living and dining areas.

Ösmo Station was built in the national romantic style, which is often referred to as the successor to art nouveau. "Ferdinand Boberg became a trendsetter for the design language in Swedish architecture," notes agent Björn Schumacher. "Ösmo station is proof of this; it was designed nearly 10 years before national romanticism had its golden years in the country."

The warm living room features polished pine floors and walls wrapped with herringbone wainscoting.

The main dining area opens up to the paved terrace that runs along the side of the house leads to the small Mediterranean-inspired garden.

While the station served as a bustling transportation hub for many decades, it was reimagined as a single-family home in 2010 after being acquired by the current sellers. Today, the property offers spacious living areas, four bedrooms, four baths, a large office, and a gym.

Generous light flows into the kitchen, which features custom cabinetry and a central island.

A white tile backsplash wraps around the kitchen.

Period charm can be found all throughout the home’s various levels—details include wide-plank hardwood floors, wainscoting, and casement windows. Wood-clad ceilings soar nearly 12 feet high, enhancing the sense of space.

In one corner, a leather bench with two tables creates a cozy breakfast nook.

One of the hallways has a hidden staircase that leads to a private guest room.

The kitchen, which sits right off the living and dining area, is dressed with marble countertops and vintage Victorian tiles. Dark-blue cabinetry adds a sumptuous splash of color, contrasting with the gold fixtures and stainless-steel appliances.

A bright-green sofa anchors the upper-level living room.

A vintage wood-burning fireplace rests in the corner.

All of the bedrooms are perched on the upper level, ensuring peace and privacy. An additional living room also awaits upstairs, along with a large walk-in storage closet and double bathrooms. Keep scrolling to see more of the adapted space, now listed for 5,700,000 SEK (around $664,598 USD).
