A Landmark on Ryggeveien
Moss Avis notes that many motorists will likely recognize the property from driving past it. The address is Ryggeveien 39, and the building’s nickname, “Smia” — the Forge — has made it a familiar point of reference in the area.

The headline quotes the sellers’ sentiment about leaving the home: Her har vi hatt det hjemmekoselig
— “We have had it cozy here at home.”
