What the listing tells us
This listing is notably sparse on details. It does not state the number of rooms, bedrooms, or bathrooms, nor does it mention any garden, balcony, or garage. As a result, the layout and condition of the interior remain unknown from the listing alone. What we do know is the living area: 61 m² according to the BAG registration, which is the basis for the price per square metre of €5,492. The year of construction, 1965, is a fact worth noting, but the listing gives no further information about the home's features or installations.
