Torvet 4 — a restored harbour house of 1870. Two residences, one historic building, on the edge of Risør's archipelago.
Risør sits on Norway's southern coast — white timber houses gathered around a working harbour, wooden boats along the quay, and an archipelago of bare rock and open water just beyond.
A clear northern light has drawn painters and sailors here for generations. It is a town people arrive at once and return to for a lifetime.
Torvet 4 has stood on Risør's harbour square for more than 150 years. Restored to a rare standard, it keeps the proportions, materials and quiet character of its era — deep window reveals, painted timber, and light from three sides.
The building is offered whole: a private house on the water, complete.
Inside, two residences look out over the harbour and the square. Generous rooms, deep window reveals, and materials chosen with restraint — interiors made for long, unhurried stays by the sea.
For further information and private viewings of Torvet 4, contact Hans Houeland. The building is offered in its entirety.
