Hellerup | $1.38 million (8.75 million Danish kroner)
A three-bedroom apartment in a historic villa in the Copenhagen suburbs
This three-bedroom, one-bath apartment is on the top two floors of a 1902 villa in Hellerup, an affluent district in the suburb of Gentofte, just north of Copenhagen.

It offers upscale shopping, as well as parks, a picturesque harbor, beautiful beaches, and plenty of train and bus options for reaching downtown Copenhagen. This villa is on Bernstorffsvej, an avenue in a residential area dotted with mansions, including some housing foreign embassies, a hospital and schools.
While the area around the 0.25-acre property is primarily residential, the nearby Bernstorff Park includes the Bernstorff Palace, which has a teahouse, art exhibits and gardens. To the east is the Strandvejen, with upscale boutique shops, cafes and restaurants, along with coastal views. The Experimentarium, a hands-on science center, is also in Hellerup.

Taarbaek | $1.38 million (8.75 million Danish kroner)
A renovated two-bedroom thatched cottage in a suburb of Copenhagen
This two-bedroom, two-bath, thatched-roof house was built in 1802 as a fisherman’s cottage in Lyngby-Taarbaek, a municipality on the fringes of Copenhagen.
About eight miles north of central Copenhagen, the Taarbaek neighborhood was a fishing village that developed into a popular summer destination and spa town during the 19th century, driven in part by the construction of its harbor and a railway. Today, it is a quiet, prosperous neighborhood with luxury villas along the waterfront avenue, called Strandvejen.
The cottage is steps away from the waterfront harbor and a sailing club, with a bakery and deli right around the corner. The village has a market, school, sports clubs, bank and other amenities; a wider range of offerings can be found in the larger community of Klampenborg, about a mile south.
To the west is Dyrehaven (or “deer park”), a UNESCO World Heritage Site offering a forest with free-roaming deer, an old amusement park called Bakken and the historic Hermitage royal hunting lodge. Also nearby are two restaurants, Den Rode Cottage and Den Gule Cottage, which occupy two 19th-century buildings that were part of the former Klampenborg Spa.
Copenhagen Airport is about 15 miles south of Taarbaek.
Size: 883 square feet
Price per square foot: $1,552
Indoors: This 19th-century former fisherman’s cottage was recently renovated to add modern interiors, earning a local architectural prize in 2015. The front door opens to the kitchen and living area, with a door leading to a small bedroom on the left.
The open kitchen has a breakfast bar and distressed black and forest green cabinets topped with brass countertops. The floors are wide plank. Brass is also used in the bathroom, which has a shower, double sinks and built-in shelves. The living room has floor-to-ceiling shelves flanking the stairs and a door opening to a terrace.
The stairs ascend to a second-floor living area under the cottage’s steeply pitched roof. There are half-moon windows, and a door opens to a balcony overlooking a pathway to the harbor. The living area is separated from a bedroom by a partition of glass with metal grilles. The other bedroom has an en suite bathroom and walk-in closet.
Outdoor space: There is an enclosed south-facing terrace and a balcony with views of the Oresund, the waterway between Denmark and Sweden.
Costs: The monthly ownership costs for this property are 4,985 kroner ($785). Closing costs for the buyer include a registration fee of 0.6 percent of the property’s purchase price plus a fixed amount of 1,850 kroner ($290).
