About Sonsbeekweg 40-2, Arnhem
The asking price is 15% above the average asking price in the Transvaalbuurt, which is €691,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (137 m² vs 149 m² average) and in a classic 1908 building. The price per m² is about €5,803, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,963 per m². Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the period features and location.
The energy label is D. This is common for a building from 1908, as most homes in the neighbourhood (66.7%) have a label D or lower. A D label means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing, but the listing does not specify what has already been done.
The nearest train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes it easy to reach Arnhem city centre or further destinations.
