Four Bedrooms in a Converted Water Tower in Sweden$2.2 MILLION (19.7 MILLION SWEDISH KRONA)This four-bedroom home is a converted, 108-foot water tower on Vaxon, an island in the Stockholm Archipelago, about 35 minutes east of central Stockholm, Sweden’s capital. The brick tower was built in 1923 on one of the highest points in the area to supply drinking water, and was being used as a reserve as late as 1989, said Jan Tivenius, an agent with Residence-Christie’s International Real Estate, which has the listing. The current owners bought it in 2000 and converted it into a seven-story home with an electric sauna at the lantern-like top. An unpaved driveway wends up the hill to the tower’s main entrance, which opens into the combined kitchen, living and dining area, with 16-foot ceilings and herringbone oak floors. A second entrance at the back provides access to a wood deck.
