A spacious apartment in the heart of Emmen
This apartment on Westerstraat sits right in the middle of Emmen-Centrum, a neighbourhood where the daily rhythm is set by the shops, the market and the people passing by. Built in 2003, the home carries an A+ energy label, which is an efficient label and should keep energy costs modest. With a price of €695,000, the asking price is on the high side compared with the average asking price in the neighbourhood. For context, the average asking price for apartments in Emmen in this area is €420,270, so this home asks a clear premium.
The home itself
The apartment spans three rooms, including two bedrooms and two bathrooms, spread over the floors. The living area is listed at 167 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 166 m², a small difference between the two sources. The home was built in 2003, so it is a relatively recent construction, and the energy label A+ reflects an efficient rating. The agent does not mention any garden, balcony or garage, so outdoor space is not part of the listing.
