About Steenhouwerskade 74, Groningen
The asking price is 51% above the average asking price in Binnenstad-West (€498,333) and is the highest of the three apartments currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, this home is also 40% larger than the average (125 m² vs 89 m²) and has an A+ energy label, which is rare in an area where half the homes were built before 1945. So while it's a premium price, you're getting a lot more space and efficiency.
