A grand home on the water

With its high asking price of €885,000, it sits well below the average asking price of €1,261,388 for homes in the neighbourhood, though that average is pulled up by some very expensive properties. The asking price is also below the average of €5,089 per m² for the area, coming in at €4,784 per m² based on the agent's floor area. For context, the home is one of 17 properties currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and it is priced at the higher end of what is on offer.
