Modern house with sunny terrace on Gotland

The light is one of the first things you notice in this townhouse in Gnisvärd. Large windows let in plenty of daylight, the open floor plan allows for free movement, and the southwest-facing patio catches the sun from lunchtime all the way into the evening. It’s built in a modern Gotlandic style with concrete and a zinc roof, and this is evident in the house’s character.

On the lower level is a bedroom with a double bed and the home’s larger bathroom, equipped with a washer-dryer combo. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped for cooking. The upper level features two additional bedrooms, a TV room with access to the balcony, and a private bathroom with a shower.

The patio is concrete and furnished with both a sofa set and a dining set, making it just as suitable for a long dinner as for an afternoon in the sun. The balcony on the upper floor, accessed via the TV room, extends your time outdoors when you want to sit a little higher up in the evening sun.

The beach has shallow waters and is child-friendly, and yoga and kitesurfing classes are held there. The Gnisvärd fishing village, with swimming from the pier, is within walking distance, as are restaurants such as Broman & Son, Tofta Beach House, and Surflogiet. Tofta Strandbageri has fresh-baked bread every morning, and Visby Golf Club is 8 km away.
