About Burgemeester Wuiteweg 102, Drachten
Yes, it appears keenly priced. The only other detached house currently for sale in De Singels oost is listed at €700,000, and the median sold price for detached homes in the neighbourhood is around €354,727 (based on 11 sales). At €470,000, this home is below the current asking price of comparable properties, though it has an older energy label (D) compared to most for-sale homes in the area.
The home has energy label D. This means it is less efficient than newer homes, so heating costs will be higher than for a label A or B property. In De Singels oost, all other for-sale homes currently have label A, so this home stands out as less efficient. You can expect to spend more on energy bills compared to a modern home.
The nearest train station is 19.5 km away, so this home is not well connected by rail. You would need a car or bus for longer journeys. The neighbourhood is car-oriented, with good road access to Drachten centre.
Several schools are within walking distance. Gomarus College Drachten (secondary) is 216 m away, and primary schools include Openbare Basisschool de Tille (535 m) and Katholieke Jenaplan Basisschool St. Lukas (532 m). There is also a special primary school, Sjalom, at 355 m.
Very convenient. Albert Heijn is just 210 m away, and Dirk is 489 m. For a wider selection, Aldi and Lidl are about 800 m. A GP is 700 m, and a restaurant is 800 m. Most daily needs are within a short walk.
The plot is 459 m², which is generous for a detached house in this area. The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size suggests outdoor space.
