Interior Comfort

Central Heating
The features section explicitly lists 'Verwarming Cv-ketel' (Central Heating Boiler) and specifies the make and model (Vaillant, 2008).
Fireplace
The detailed description of the living room and features does not mention a fireplace. In a 67m² apartment, this would be a notable selling point if present.

The property is heated by a 'Cv-ketel' (boiler), which typically powers radiators in this type of construction. Underfloor heating would be a significant upgrade usually mentioned, especially given the 2014 bathroom renovation.
Walk In Closet
The listing mentions 'extra kastruimte' (extra cupboard space) in the bathroom and two well-sized bedrooms, but does not describe a walk-in closet. This feature is almost certainly not present.
Skylight
The description mentions large windows but no skylights. In a standard 'portiekflat' (gallery flat) from 1991, skylights are architecturally improbable.

Interior Style
