The home itself
The listing gives no details on the layout, number of rooms, or any outdoor space, so the picture is limited to the essentials: an apartment from 1983 with an energy label C. The living area is 79 square metres according to the BAG registration. The agent does not specify how many bedrooms or bathrooms there are, nor whether there is a garden or balcony. The energy label C suggests moderate energy performance, so heating costs will likely be in the mid-range, but the listing offers no further specifics on insulation or installations.
