The apartment, accessible via an elevator, is located on the second floor of a solid apartment complex built on freehold land.

Layout
Through the central entrance of this well-maintained complex, you enter a vestibule leading to a spacious communal hallway. From here, the apartment can be reached by either stairs or elevator—both of which offer direct access to the home itself.

A long hallway, equipped with a coat area, flows seamlessly into the bright and spacious living room at the front. The living room boasts no fewer than five large windows and is generously sized, allowing ample space for both a large sitting area and an 8-person dining table. Noteworthy features include deep window sills and a cozy fireplace, adding to the room's charm.

The open-plan kitchen has a sleek grey color palette, a stainless steel worktop, and various built-in appliances. A half-height partition subtly separates the kitchen while maintaining an open connection with the living area.

At the rear of the apartment are two bedrooms, both with access to the delightful southwest-facing terrace. The right-hand bedroom features high built-in wardrobes and a wide sliding door leading to the terrace. The left-hand bedroom has a split-level design, with an elevated sleeping area and a lower wardrobe section. The meter cupboard is also located here. The sunny terrace measures over 18m², is finished with hardwood decking, and offers a tranquil outdoor space in the heart of the city.

The bathroom and other sanitary facilities are centrally located. The spacious bathroom features a light grey floor, soft blue wall tiles, and a wooden ceiling with built-in lighting. It includes a bathtub, toilet, walk-in shower, vanity unit, and a heated towel rail. An additional door leads to the utility room with central heating and laundry connections.

The private storage room is accessible from the ground floor.
