THIS 19th CENTURY SWEDISH apartment in Strandvägen, Stockholm is an ornate austerity dream. Both spare and luxurious at once, close to the water and downtown, this eight room, 322 square meter space has three balconies, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a dressing room. Stately crown moulding with a seashell motif in one room and a warm herringbone floor in another, wonderful textures such as marble and cane furniture, golden accents in chandeliers and sconces, and flooded in natural light, this apartment strikes the perfect balance between old and new.
