She finds peace at the kitchen table

“There was something about the apartment and the place that made us feel like we’d come home,” says Skellefteå resident Anita Johansson who, together with her husband, left their house outside the city, and all the care it took, to move into a newly built tenant-owner apartment closer to the city center. Once the decision to move was made the process from contract to options and final inspection went quickly, and their dialogue with Peab flowed without a hitch.

Anita and her husband Tomas had lived for years in their home in Skellefteå Municipality but when the last kid moved out the pair was ready for a place that needed less maintenance. Through a rental they stumbled on Peab’s project Brf Älvshöjden and were immediately interested.

“We couldn’t believe we would get exactly the home we wanted but we sent in an inquiry anyway,” says Anita.

Soon thereafter the pair had signed a contract for a completely new home. Now they’ve been living there for over a year and remember how straight forward the process was and how well the dialogue with Peab went as they prepared to move into their two-bedroom apartment.

“I can’t think of a single time we had a problem. Our contact at Peab was always available and everything was in good order,” states Anita.

Anita and Tomas are happy with their new home and the area they live in as well as the fact that the apartment building is Swan eco-labeled and built with a sustainable perspective.

“You can see and feel the good quality in the building and almost everything we need is close by. We’re near to a lot of activities, nature and downtown Skellefteå where we can enjoy good restaurants, cozy coffee shops and everything else going on in this rapidly growing community,” she says.

There are a number of things Anita likes about the new home: the bathroom feels luxurious and fresh, the big balcony and the uniqueness of the building’s architecture with its facade and special windows. But her favorite place bar none is at the newly purchased kitchen table:

“From the kitchen window I can look out over the kitchen, living room and further on to the horizon. Every now and then I realize how quiet it is although we’re living in the middle of the city and not outside it anymore. I love that it can be truly quiet here too.”
