The home itself
Built in 1969, this first floor apartment offers four rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over a single level. The living area is listed at 101 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 99 m², a small difference between the two sources. The home has a volume of 315 m³ and comes with an energy label E, which means you can expect higher energy costs compared to more efficient homes. The apartment is part of a building with seven floors, and the agent does not mention any garden, balcony, or garage, so outdoor space is limited to what the shared surroundings provide.
