About Geneindestraat 27, Valkenburg (Li)
The asking price is €785,000, which is 67% above the neighbourhood average of €470,802. However, this apartment is smaller (93 m² vs. 152 m² average) and has an exceptional A++ energy label, which is rare in the area. The price reflects its historic character and modern efficiency, but it is on the high side compared to other listings in Valkenburg.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is very energy-efficient, with low heating costs and a minimal environmental footprint. In the neighbourhood, only 10% of homes for sale have label A or better, so this is a standout feature.
The building was constructed in 1860, making it one of the older properties in the area. Despite its age, the A++ energy label suggests it has been thoroughly modernised, likely with new insulation, windows, and heating systems. The exact condition is not detailed in the listing, but the energy label indicates good upkeep.
