According to the agent, this ground-floor apartment has two rooms, one bedroom and one bathroom, all on a single floor. The living area is 57 square metres, and the volume is 273 cubic metres. There is a rear garden facing north, accessible via the back entrance, plus a parking space. The home is fully insulated and heated by district heating.

The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This means you can expect relatively modest energy costs compared to less efficient labels. The home is also described as fully insulated, which is a separate fact from the label. District heating is the heating system in place.

The monthly homeowners' association fee is €108. This is a recurring cost that goes towards the shared maintenance and management of the building. The home is offered in full ownership, meaning you own the property outright rather than a ground lease.
