About Barbarahof 16, Born
The asking price of €185,000 is 53% below the average asking price in Born (€396,438) and also below the median of €290,000. However, the living area is only 63 m², which is 61% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 161 m². The large plot of 1,238 m² is unusual and adds value. Given the compact house and huge garden, the price is keen for those prioritising outdoor space.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1981. In Born, 35% of homes have label C, and 47% have a lower label (D or worse). Label C means reasonable insulation and moderate energy costs, but not as efficient as modern standards.
The plot is 1,238 m², which is exceptionally large for an end-of-terrace house. The garden is not described in detail in the listing, but the size suggests plenty of outdoor space for gardening, play, or even extension possibilities (subject to planning permission).
