Key Features
Upsides
- Single-floor living arrangement makes the property accessible and suitable for long-term living without the need to navigate stairs.
- The 692 square meter plot with a free rear border to an ecological zone provides exceptional privacy and a natural view that cannot be built upon.
- The location combines the tranquility of a green residential lane with close proximity to daily amenities including a shopping center, restaurants, and medical facilities.
- The multi-functional space accessible both from the home and the driveway offers flexibility for a home office, practice room, or additional guest accommodation.
- The central heating boiler was replaced in 2020 and is owned, reducing immediate replacement costs.
Downsides
- The property was built in 1962, and the inclusion of an old age clause indicates potential age-related concerns that buyers should investigate.
- With only two bedrooms, the property may not accommodate larger families or those requiring more sleeping quarters.
- The energy label C suggests moderate energy efficiency, which may result in higher energy costs compared to more recently built or renovated properties.
- The flat roof construction, while common for the era, can be more prone to maintenance issues and water intrusion compared to pitched roofs.
- The non-occupancy clause indicates the property is not currently owner-occupied, which may mean it has been vacant or used as an investment, potentially requiring updates to personal preferences.
