What the listing tells us
The listing was thin on detail. It does not state the number of rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, or any outdoor space, and there is no mention of insulation, heating, or ownership arrangements. The living area is 41 m² according to the BAG registration, which is 51% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 84 m². The home was built in 1890 and had energy label D, so expect moderate energy costs. Beyond that, the agent provided little to go on.
