Why we selected this property
The specific features behind our editorial selection.
Residents’ courtyard access
The source describes a direct route from the kitchen terrace to a courtyard reserved for residents, a distinct outdoor use to verify in person and in writing.
Per source · independent confirmation neededSeparate kitchen and period proportions
One bedroom, a living room with vestibule and a separate kitchen are specifically listed, with 2.90 m ceilings claimed by the advertiser.
Per source · independent confirmation neededRenovation scope visible
The room and terrace-door images show older finishes and fittings consistent with a project requiring detailed inspection.
Visible in the reviewed photographsThe property in detail
This is a project for a buyer who wants to shape an older central home. The advertiser describes 85 m² on the first floor of a 1954 building, with one bedroom, a living room and vestibule, separate kitchen, bathroom, separate WC and a terrace leading to the residents’ courtyard. The advertised ceiling height is 2.90 metres.
The inspected photographs show connected furnished rooms with parquet flooring, an older radiator beside the kitchen terrace door, and a courtyard with paving, steps and substantial vegetation. The aerial city images in the gallery are neighbourhood context, not the view from a first-floor apartment. The condition deserves a detailed survey rather than a cosmetic-refresh assumption.
Courtyard access and separate rooms are the practical attraction, balanced against extensive renovation and shared rather than exclusive outdoor rights. The source also lists a 9 m² basement, windowed attic and land/common shares. Proposed office use or an additional bedroom must be checked against the deed, approved plan and relevant permissions.

What deserves a closer look

02The courtyard belongs to shared residents’ use, with access and maintenance rights still to verify.
03The current narrative contains one bedroom; a two-bedroom category or proposed office use is not an approved new layout or designation.
04First-floor privacy, daylight and actual steps to the courtyard need on-site assessment.

What to check before deciding
Can an engineer inspect the structure, electrical system, plumbing and heating before a renovation budget is agreed?
What legal rights permit terrace-to-courtyard access, and who maintains the courtyard and stairs?
Can the deed and approved plan confirm the 85 m² area, 9 m² basement, attic and 8/100 shares?
Which walls may legally be altered, and what approvals would a second bedroom or professional use require?
What are the street-to-apartment and courtyard step counts, and what are the first-floor security and ventilation arrangements?

Proposed scoring method
The weights describe the proposed structure, not points awarded to this property. Once the method is calibrated, confirmed levels from 0 to 5 would convert to points as weight × level / 5.
A numerical rating requires a consistent method for the property type, suitable independent market comparisons, and an editorial review of the evidence for each criterion. Listing claims, photo observations and unresolved questions must remain distinguishable.
An overall result remains unpublished when the evidence is insufficient. Missing information is not zero; example or average points do not replace it. The current card presents the available evidence without assigning points.
