  • A 240-square-meter two-level property on Hofsvallagata in Reykjavík includes a three-bedroom basement apartment with a separate entrance and a large garage.
  • The home, built in 1956, has a renovated kitchen, three upstairs bedrooms and south-facing balcony access from the main bedroom.
  • The original staircase is presented as the property’s standout feature.

The original staircase is the jewel of a bright, spacious home now highlighted on Hofsvallagata in Reykjavík’s West Town.

The 240-square-meter property occupies two floors in a house built in 1956. It also includes a three-bedroom basement apartment with its own entrance, as well as a roomy garage. The location is close to Vesturbær swimming pool, Melabúðin shop and Melaskóli school.

The main floor opens into a hallway, where the staircase leads to the upper level. The renovated kitchen has a large island separating it from the dining area, while the living room and dining room share a bright space with a large south-facing window. The floor also contains a spacious bedroom and a guest toilet.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two particularly large rooms. The main bedroom opens onto a south-facing balcony, and a small laundry room is also located on the floor. The basement apartment has an open-plan kitchen and living room, a large main bedroom, a children’s room and a small laundry room. The two parts of the property could potentially be connected, a layout that may suit a large family.
