The home itself
According to the agent, this studio had two rooms, one bedroom and one bathroom. The living area was listed as 40 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 39 m². The energy label was E, which was the least efficient label, so expect higher energy costs. The home was built in 1912, a fact that speaks to its age but says nothing about its condition. The listing did not mention any garden, balcony or garage, so outdoor space was not part of this offering.
