2-room apartment for sale in Turba, Pargi tn 5, Saue vald

For sale: a 2-room apartment in Turba, looking for a new, proactive owner with a realistic worldview. To avoid any misunderstandings later: the apartment is being sold with the status "needs major renovation".

Before you get scared, it is actually perfectly habitable – we lived there for years and everything was fine. However, if your morning routine involves drinking water from a gold-plated faucet, the reality here might cause a culture shock. Since everyone's definition of a "flaw" is different, we won't sugarcoat anything – work needs to be done here, and the apartment is sold exactly in the condition it presents when you open the door. You come, assess everything with your own eyes, and if it suits you, you roll up your sleeves.

The apartment is on the top floor of a 5-story building. Pros? No one stomping above your head. Cons? No elevator, meaning hauling construction materials will successfully replace any gym membership.

My design vs. Your reality: New cables and pipes have been installed, and the walls have been straightened. But take note: this was done according to MY logic. If you think a power outlet should be on the ceiling or a pipe should run diagonally, feel free to tear it down and redo it.

Retro windows and the Sun: The room windows are made of genuine wood and are a pinnacle of Soviet engineering (read: they need replacing, but don't do it yourself; the housing association promised to replace all windows during the renovation... even those that people have already bought and installed themselves... so save your money and endure it for a while). The balcony, however, has a new window (soon to be even newer when the renovation starts), from which you can enjoy romantic sunrises for free (if you bother to wake up that early).

A sauna was planned for the bathroom. Currently, it is in the "the idea was good" stage. The room layout and wall ends are set, which means you can no longer choose the shape of the sauna bench or the location of the heater – the architectural plan is locked. If that doesn't suit you, you'll have to tear the whole thing down and make a boring, standard bathroom.

The apartment has double doors. This is good because then the neighbors won't hear your swearing during renovations. As for the neighbors: I haven't quarreled with them and have no complaints. How you will get along with them? That you have to see for yourself.

Turba is a small town where everything necessary is within walking distance.
On one side of the building is a kindergarten, on the other a school. The shop is a couple of hundred meters away, and the gas station and family doctor are also within reach. The community center hosts cultural events. The school gym has a fitness room and a public sauna – you can wash and use a whisk (I don't actually know if that's allowed) while you pretend to build a sauna at home.

Connection to the capital: The train station is about 800m away. Trains and buses run. But please read my lips: whether these schedules match your work hours, alarm clock, or Elron's mood swings, I don't know and I'm not responsible. Check train times in the app, not with me.

The housing association is active and is currently gathering paperwork to start a general renovation of the building.

Utility forecast: Bank loan payments are already included in the utility bills. In theory, costs should decrease after the renovation due to heating savings. BUT: If construction material prices skyrocket or the association decides on gold handles and bills still rise – please don't sue me. In that case, go to the meeting and help them find a cheaper builder or vote against it.

Heat advantage: The insulation of the building started years ago, and this apartment is located on the side that was insulated long ago. (This was done during a previous renovation that wasn't completed. That older renovation is no longer reflected anywhere, loans are paid, etc.)

Other stuff: Locked stairwell doors, chip system, two exits (front and back of the building). There is a lockable storage unit in the basement where you can hide the tools you don't know how to use. You can park in front of the building or in the large parking lot next to it.

The previous official appraisal showed a value of 43,000 €.

Come over, bring your construction consultant or a flashlight, and take a look. Seeing is believing!
