De Laares, Enschede
NeighbourhoodThis is a home that feels brand new, because it is. Built in 2021, the end-of-terrace house on Oosterstraat 9A in Enschede combines a fresh, contemporary look with an energy label A+++, so you can expect very low running costs. With 156 m² of living space and a 244 m² plot, there is room to spread out. The asking price of €639,000 is 31% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which puts it on the high side, but then you are getting a recently built home in a street where most properties are older.
