Lovely family home in welcoming Haslum (Bærum) – Available approx. January to June 2026

(Vi snakker norsk også, bare skrev på engelsk her så flest mulig kan forstå 💛)

Our warm and modern family home in Haslum will be available for rental while we are living abroad. Our plan is to be away 6 months from January–June 2026, but we are currently awaiting visa approval that will determine if we can leave as soon as January.

A bright, welcoming and practical home with a strong family feel, in one of Bærum’s most desirable and convenient areas. Ideal for a peaceful, child-friendly neighborhood with excellent access to schools, sports facilities, nature and public transport.

Great deal for an international family, embassy staff, visiting researchers, company relocation or a local family in need for a short term stay whilst refurbishing or searching for a local home.
