The home itself
This listing does not state the energy label, so there is no official rating to go by. The apartment was built in 1960, which is a fact about its age rather than a comment on its condition. The living area is 71 square metres according to the BAG registration, and the agent has not published any further details about the layout, such as the number of bedrooms or bathrooms. There is no mention of a garden, balcony, or garage in the listing, so those features are not confirmed. What is clear is that the home is a straightforward apartment from the early 1960s, and the absence of additional information means the practical details remain to be seen.
