The window frames are made of wood, with some windows having secondary glazing, some having double glazing and some featuring HR++ glass for better insulation. The electrical installation consists of seven circuit groups and two earth leakage switches.
Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant VHR combination boiler from 2012, which is owned rather than rented. There is exterior sun shading available. The property is connected to fiber optic cable and has a TV connection.

However, there is currently no maintenance plan in effect.
Parking in the area is through paid parking, public parking spaces and parking permits. Residents should factor in the cost and availability of parking when considering this location.
The asking price is 598000 euros, which translates to approximately 5111 euros per square meter of living space. The listed price is subject to negotiation as the costs for the buyer, including transfer tax and notary fees, are not included in this amount.
