Private house in Reykjavik, Iceland
Our house is a traditional timber-house with garden in the old center of Reykjavik. The house was originally built in 1920. We have been living in it for 12 years.
It is in walking distance from most of Reykjavik´s attractions, cafés and restaurants but the neighborhood is quiet, almost like being in a small country town.
The house is on two levels, two separate flats. Upstairs we have 3 rooms and a big living room with a piano. The flat downstairs has separate entrance, our son is living there. The flat has 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom. If there would be a need for more rooms he has a room at his grandparents house almost next door.

Our house is in the city center of Reykjavik so everything is more or less in walking distance. But still it is a quiet residential area.
There are only few minutes to the lake with a sculptural garden and nice walking path around. At the lake the city hall, open for public. It is nice to go inside and look at the huge relief-map of Iceland. The National Gallery with contemporary art exhibition is close by our house and National Museum is at the other side of the lake.
Only few minutes from our house you might like to visit Einar Jonsson's sculptural garden and Hallgrims church across on the top of the hill. Interesting to go inside the church and experience the huge pipe organ, if you are lucky there might be a rehearsal. You can take the elevator up to the tour and have a nice view on Reykjavik. Outside the statue of viking Leif the lucky who „invented“ America long before Christoph Columbus.
On the way to the main street for dining and shopping, Laugarvegur you pass Skolavordustigur with small galleries and lively coffee shops.
