These windows offer a view of the greenery and the animal pasture located behind the building, providing a peaceful and open atmosphere. The living room is spacious enough to accommodate a comfortable seating area and a dining table.
The kitchen is situated at the front of the apartment. It is a closed kitchen, which helps contain cooking smells and keeps the living area tidy.

The outdoor space consists of a balcony located at the rear of the apartment. This balcony spans the entire width of the apartment, maximizing the usable outdoor area.

A practical feature included in the bathroom is the connection for a washing machine, allowing laundry to be done inside the apartment without needing to use facilities in the basement or a shared laundry room.

The property was built in nineteen sixty four and is classified as existing construction. It features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The windows are made of wood and are fitted with double glazing throughout the entire apartment. This double glazing contributes to better insulation and comfort.
