The seller came to our office through an acquaintance, and during the initial meeting, there was immediate mutual trust. Our office then set to work preparing for the sale. With our advice and the seller's commitment, the apartment is now ready for sale. The property has been owned by the current owners for about 30 years.
I think this is a beautiful family home with unique features, high ceilings, and lots of possibilities for the new owner. It's possible to renovate the apartment and adapt it to modern requirements, with the added bonus of a lovely south-facing garden AND located on private land.
