Situated in a Danish suburb with plenty of forests and lakes, the dramatic villa features rustic charm and staggering amounts of space.
In Holte, Denmark, a small town on the northern outskirts of Copenhagen, a striking 19th-century structure was reimagined as an expansive home. Originally built in 1877, the historic property formerly served as a community theater, banquet hall, and inn. Today, the building is split into two family residences—and the larger unit is currently seeking a new owner.

The listed dwelling, which spans two-thirds of the structure, provides nearly 4,000 square feet of interior space. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence includes a number of bright living areas, including the original double-height theater hall. "Each room tells its own set of stories," notes listing agent Adam Schnack. "If only the walls could speak."
The 19th-century residence is accessible via a glass-enclosed private entrance on the front of the property.

Upon arrival, a set of entryway steps lead to the kitchen and living room, which connect to a south-facing terrace that overlooks the private garden. The ground level hosts two of the home’s five bedrooms, as well as two bathrooms—one with a tub and the other with a shower. A slender, curving staircase connects the ground floor with the second level, where another bedroom and en suite bathroom await.
The home boasts a bright and airy aesthetic, with crisp white walls and wooden accents. A small reading nook is located off the kitchen, which offers direct access to the private garden.
