Inside the home
Built in 1922, this apartment has three rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom. The agent listed the living area at 82 m², while the BAG registration records 55 m². The energy label was B, which was an efficient label, so heating costs should be relatively manageable. The home had been listed since 28 October 2026, and the agent's description did not mention any garden, balcony, or garage, so outdoor space was likely limited to the shared street scene.
