Aptly described as a “Scandinavian farmhouse”—after all, the house was graced on the cover of Sweden’s Elle Décor in 2014—photos show whitewashed brick walls, herringbone floors, and a kitchen with a tile backsplash. Elsewhere, there are unpainted exposed brick walls and a claw-foot tub. The original staircase has been restored and there are two kitchens with marble tops. In addition, the master bedroom has a terrace.

The group of millennials, the Cardigans, became famous for their hit song “Lovefool” in 1996 which was featured on the soundtrack to the 1996 movie “Romeo + Juliet,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. The song was also featured in “Beverly Hills, 90210” and the 1999 movie “Cruel Intentions”.

The song is even having a moment now, as it’s featured in the trailer for the new Pamela Anderson Netflix documentary — which premieres on Tuesday.

The Cardigans have sold over 15 million albums worldwide.

Gino Philippon of Corcoran and Spencer Means of Compass hold the list.
