The train station is nearby, making regional travel convenient. Major road connections that lead to surrounding towns and villages are also easily reachable. The surrounding neighbourhood is described as quiet while still being close to the activity of the town centre.
The apartment measures ninety nine square metres of usable living space. In addition to the internal area there is an external balcony of thirteen square metres and a separate storage compartment of twenty three square metres. The total internal volume of the unit is three hundred twenty seven cubic metres. The energy performance of the building is classified as label B, indicating a relatively efficient energy consumption profile. The property is advertised as available and the asking price is three hundred ninety eight thousand euros, which is stated as a purchase price inclusive of transfer costs.
Overall the unit provides a combination of natural light, separate sleeping quarters with private bathrooms, a functional kitchen, a balcony, an on site parking space, and an underground storage area.
