About IJsselvere 2, Oudewater

Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €509,059, so the price reflects the size and the historic character. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the 1734 origins.
The home has an energy label A, which is remarkable for a building from 1734. This suggests that significant modernisation has taken place, such as insulation, double glazing, or a heat pump. The neighbourhood has no other homes with label A or B, so this property stands out for its efficiency.
