A TWO-BEDROOM APARTMENT IN THE CITY OF AARHUS

3.35 MILLION DANISH KRONER ($570,000)

This two-bedroom apartment has about 850 square feet of living space, including a wraparound balcony that overlooks the city’s harbor. It is on the fourth floor of a development called the Lighthouse, which opened in 2012 as the first residential component of the Docklands, an ambitious project to refashion the waterfront of Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city, with a population of about 300,000. The décor, in typical Danish style, is minimal and modern, with white walls and pale wood flooring.

A small entrance foyer opens up to the combined living/dining space. The integrated galley kitchen is to the left, with white lacquer cabinets designed by the Danish company HTH. The appliances, all by Siemens, include an induction cooktop, an electric oven and a dishwasher and refrigerator with faceplates that match the cabinets.

The living room has floor-to-ceiling windows, and there is space for a generously sized dining table. The main bedroom has a walk-in closet, and a smaller second bedroom can also be used as an office. The bathroom, reached through the foyer, has a tiled shower stall and a full-size washer and dryer, also by Siemens.

The balcony is reached through the two bedrooms and is deep enough to accommodate a small dining table and comfortable chairs. Heating is under-floor, but there is no air-conditioning, as temperatures in Aarhus rarely exceed 80 degrees in the summer, and cooling breezes come from the bay.
