About Boslaan 4, Emmen

Detached homes of this size are rare in Emmen-Centrum, so the premium reflects the exceptional living space and the character of a 1925 property. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value space and a central location.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 48.6% of homes have label A or better, so this home is less efficient than much of the current stock. With a 1925 build, you can expect higher heating costs, but the label D is not the worst, it is a middle-of-the-road rating for a home of this age.
