About Michelisstraat 15, Kerkrade
The asking price of €329,000 is below the average of €344,250 for homes currently for sale in Spekholzerheide, but the home is also smaller than average at 103 m². The average price per square metre in the neighbourhood is €2,159, which would put this home at around €222,000 based on size alone, but end-of-terrace houses typically command a premium. The price seems in line with the market given the property type and condition.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a house of this age (built in 1987). Label C means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, with moderate heating costs expected. In the neighbourhood, about 27% of homes have label A+ or better, and 27% have label D or lower, so this home sits in the middle range.
The plot measures 179 m², which includes the house itself and the garden. Given the plot size, the garden is likely a decent size for a terraced house.
Spekholzerheide has a relatively low proportion of households with children (about 20%), and many residents are older or live alone. There are several primary schools within walking distance, but secondary schools are further away (4 km). The area is quiet and has a park nearby, which is nice for children, but it's not a typical family-dominated neighbourhood.
The nearest train station is 3.6 km from the home, which is about a 45-minute walk or a 10-minute bike ride.
Jumbo is just 268 metres away (a three-minute walk), and Aldi is 315 metres away (a four-minute walk). Lidl is about 750 metres away, and there is an AH XL at 1.1 km. For daily groceries, you have several options within a short walk.
The floor area is 103 m², which typically accommodates three bedrooms in an end-of-terrace house of this era, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
