The home itself
The listing did not provide details on the layout, number of rooms, or any outdoor space. What is known is that the studio was built in 1928 and carries an energy label D. The living area is 37 m² according to the BAG registration. Label D was not the most efficient label, so expect moderate energy costs. The year of construction is a fact of the building's history, nothing more.
