The kitchen is less than three years old and comes with built-in appliances including an induction cooktop, extractor hood, oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher. The spacious living room is pleasantly bright thanks to the large windows at both the front and rear, and it is in open connection with the kitchen, which creates a pleasant and spacious living environment. Through the sliding doors you can step directly into the attractively landscaped backyard.

The first floor contains two spacious bedrooms, both equipped with practical built-in closets. Additionally, there is a separate laundry room and a tidy bathroom, which is fitted with a bathtub, a multi-shower cubicle, a second toilet, and a washbasin furniture unit.

The second floor offers a landing with a skylight, storage space, and the location of the central heating boiler. Furthermore, two additional rooms have been created on this floor. The room at the front has a dormer window, which provides extra space and light. This floor can be practically arranged, for example as a children's room, home office, hobby room, or storage space.

The backyard is located on the west side, measuring approximately 21 meters deep and 6 meters wide, allowing you to fully enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.

Exterior painting work is scheduled for 2025, and a new glass overhang was installed in 2025, making it possible to use the outdoor space all year round. The property has fully double-glazed windows.

The energy label is D, which is reasonable for a property of this age, though the various insulation improvements and double glazing contribute to better energy efficiency than the original construction would have provided. The heating and hot water are both supplied by the central heating boiler.
