The home itself
This listing does not state the energy label. As a result, you cannot tell from the listing how energy-efficient the home is. The apartment was built in 1890, which is a fact about its age, not a comment on its condition. The living area of 109 m² is 43% larger than the neighbourhood average of 76 m², so there is plenty of space. The listing gives no details about the layout, number of rooms, or any outdoor space, so those are not known.
