First floor:
What immediately stands out about this apartment is its spacious layout and the abundance of natural light streaming through the large windows on three sides. Thanks to its corner position, the apartment benefits from additional windows along the side façade.
The private entrance is located on the first floor. The hallway features two built-in cupboards and leads to the spacious en-suite living and dining room, with windows on multiple sides and access to the south-facing balcony. The living and dining areas can be separated by the original en-suite partition. Beautiful parquet flooring runs throughout the apartment.
The separate kitchen is fitted with white cabinetry and various built-in appliances and also provides access to the balcony. It retains charming original vintage kitchen cupboards with glass doors. By relocating the kitchen to the en-suite living/dining area, the existing kitchen could be converted into an additional bedroom or home office.
Both bedrooms are accessible from the hallway and feature built-in wardrobes. The bedroom at the front (12 m²) is particularly bright thanks to its large window. The second bedroom (7 m²) is located at the rear and has a door leading directly onto the balcony.
Centrally located within the apartment is the heated bathroom, equipped with a shower enclosure, washbasin and washing machine connection. A separate toilet with a small washbasin is situated next to the entrance.
The approximately 5 m² balcony at the rear can be accessed from the dining room, kitchen and rear bedroom. It is a lovely spot to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine.
