The apartment
The well-maintained communal entrance leads to the apartment on the second floor. As soon as you step inside, the smart and practical layout immediately stands out. Large windows on both sides allow an abundance of natural daylight to flow through the apartment, creating a bright, spacious and inviting atmosphere.

At the quiet rear of the apartment you'll find the bedroom. Wide aluminium sliding doors provide direct access to the balcony. Facing south, this is the perfect place to enjoy the sun throughout most of the day, whether you're starting your morning with a cup of coffee or relaxing outdoors in the evening.
