In very good order overall, so that all you have to do is to unpack the suitcase. An ideal holiday home or main property, using the second apartment to perhaps pursue a hobby, set up a business from home or simply offer friends & family the privacy of their very own place to stay. Equally, one or both apartments could be used for commercial rental; offering instant business to a would-be investor.
