This fine home is located in a quiet residential area within easy walking reach of Reykjavik downtown and key tourist attractions.

The house was built in 1939 as a single family home, and as such, it is a substantial property in art deco style in one of the earlier settlements of Reykjavik.

It is ideal for a family stay (best for children aged 4 and above) and it includes all the comforts and amenities of modern life. There are two large bedrooms and one for a smaller child. There is a heated drive and a laundry/utility room in the basement.

Whether summer or winter, the fireplace adds to the cosy atmosphere and the views of the front garden and neighbouring houses are serene and beautiful.

Its a treasured home-away-from-home and one of our favourite family activities are evening swims at Sundhollin, the Reykjavik Pool, located only in a 3 minute walking distance and open until 10pm in the evening. This is wonderful all year-round and in any weather!

The house stands at the edge of Klambratun, a local park that includes children's play areas and houses Kjarvalsstadir, a beautiful art museum with a lovely bistro. Other key tourist attractions such as Perlan (ice cave, nature exhibitions, zip-line and restaurant), Harpa Concert Hall, Hallgrimskirkja Church, boat trips, downtown restaurants and shopping streets, are all within easy walking distance.

We would also always recommend that visitors take the opportunity to visit the surroundings of Reykjavik and take day trips to natural parks such as Thingvellir or explore the sites of the Golden Circle. A trip to one of the amazing lagoons near the city such as Sky Lagoon or Blue Lagoon is also a must. And if you are into some hiking, there is no need to go far, a hike up the city mountain, Esjan, is well worth the effort!
