The apartment
You can already tell from the communal staircase that this is a well-maintained building. It is neat, cared for and benefits from natural light. The apartment is located on the first floor, where the pleasant natural light and tidy finish immediately stand out. A light engineered wood floor runs throughout the apartment, while the smoothly plastered walls and high ceilings create a spacious feel.
The living room has double doors opening onto the balcony. The balcony faces south, allowing you to enjoy the sun throughout the day. It is the perfect place for a cosy balcony bar and to end the day outside. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with a four-burner gas hob, extractor hood, fridge-freezer, new dishwasher and plenty of storage space.
The bedroom is generously sized and easily accommodates a double bed and a full wall of wardrobes. The en-suite bathroom has a bathtub with a shower, a washbasin and a connection for the washing machine. The toilet is separate, which is always convenient.
For additional storage, the apartment has both an internal storage area and a separate storage room on the attic floor.
