Theme day. The beauty of decay. This is Djurgårdsgrind. Decaying since 1922, give or take. That's when the Johansson family moved out from the property. This little cottage was were they first lived when they bought the land here in 1910. Their youngest son grew up to become a famous author. The last owner of Djurgårdsgrind was a couple that used the big house (not seen here), as a summer house. The property is on the market today and it can be yours for just 1 475 000SEK. For a peak inside the big house, check out the real estate brokers photos. Theme Day.

So cute! I love the stove.
So what's that in Euros or dollars? I imagine you would have to spend quite a few crowns on the renovations.
A reminder to us Steffe that there is much beauty to be seen in decay .... beautifully captured.
Nice choice for theme day!
so much potential..
Such a nice house, and so abandoned...
Good find for this theme!
It is too disappointing that a place like this stands empty. I love it!
What, decay in clean Scandinavia??? lol
Nice shot, and excellent for this theme
I hope you're getting a real estate spotter's fee - looks like you've developed a lot of interest in this intriguing property!
I am supposed to visit two weeks from now to take some interior photos for the local historical association. Might blog a photo or two from that session.
It looks like nature is slowly reclaiming this spot.
It still looks great.
I don't want the big house, only the cottage... It's so perfect and will stand out nicely in the snow...
I could be very happy living in that little cottage...as long as the roof doesn't leak.
no matter the currency anything over a million is out of my league i am afraid.
Looks like a real cute house though. Pity.
That could be a lovely house to live in! I hope someone buys and restores it.
I hope someone buys it and restores it Steffe, its too sweet to be left to decay right away to a complete wreck !
Goes to show there is always life amidst decay, great find for theme day!
Someone may buy the property and fix this wee place up a bit!
You’ve made a great Theme Day post. I'm glad you picked this to share with us.
Don't know how many USD that is but it's a bit overgrown. Maybe someone will see the potential.

Since 1922? Astonishing.
I was also picturing this little red house in the snow. I hope a human claims it soon. Nice choice for theme day.
That could be gorgeous if it was renovated. But perhaps the real beauty here comes from the sunshine and shadows.
looking amazingly good for such a long time of decay!! no..?
Great find! I really love it.
A beautiful photograph of an enchanting place!
I hope they'll find a new owner who gives it the tender loving care it deserves.
That's a long time to leave a house vacant.
