A central apartment with a lively setting
This apartment on Donkerstraat 14 sits right in the heart of Oosterhout, where the streets are busy and everything is within easy reach. The home is on the third floor of a building from 1984, so you are living above the hustle and bustle rather than in the middle of it. With an asking price of €299,000, the price is 38% below the average asking price of €482,015 for apartments in Oosterhout, which puts it on the low side compared with the local market.
The home itself
Inside, the apartment has three rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over a single floor. The living area is listed as 54 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 65 m². The home has wall insulation and a central heating boiler, and there is a homeowners' association with a fee of €17,000. The energy label is C, which means the home sits in the middle of the scale, so heating costs will be moderate rather than extreme.
