Centrally located house, with a magnificent view over Oslo, and a secluded private garden.

Situated on the calm and leafy Ekeberg hill, Oslo city centre, with the award-winning Opera House from 2008 on the waterfront, is a twenty minute walk away. Frequent tram and bus connections are easily accessible, taking about ten minutes to various stops in the city centre.

The house is listed as a protected building and site under the Norwegian Cultural Heritage Act, as are the neighbouring wooden houses and an adjoining park, as examples of a building style formerly typical but now rare in Oslo.

The house has a very spacious living room with a mezzanine and splendid views over Oslo city centre and the surrounding hills; dining room and kitchen opening on to a large porch catching the morning sun; two upstairs bedrooms, one of which opens on to a generous balcony catching the evening sun, with views over the Opera, Royal Palace, innermost parts of the Oslo fjord, etc.; a large downstairs bedroom; a bathroom with bathtub and separate shower; a separate WC on the top floor. Outside, there is a private secluded garden. Parking for two cars. Several bicycles available for use.

The point of embarkation for the network of Oslo fjord ferries is less than thirty minutes away by public transport. Using these ferries, several small islands can conveniently and cheaply be reached, many of which have beaches. Temperatures in the Oslo fjord often reach a respectable 20C or more in the summer, which holds up well in comparison with many non-Mediterranean European destinations.
