Charming Estate Properties

This Scandinavian Waterfront Home is an Expansive Summer Escape

— August 29, 2011 — Art & Design
When it comes to summer escapes, estates like this Scandinavian Waterfront Home are a benchmark for perfected properties. As you may have assumed from the title, this stunning abode is elegantly situated next to a waterfront in Scandinavia.

The quaint white picket fencing and shudders within this Scandinavian Waterfront Home are reminiscent of old English styles mixed with country couture. This home boasts 213 square meters of functional living space, and not to mention plenty of surrounding property. With the mix of country living and upscale furnishings that this home presents, it's hard to imagine anyone who wouldn't want to vacation here.
