De Genestetlaan 40

The asking price of €1,700,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in De Bilt. The home has a large plot and generous floor area, but the energy label F means higher running costs. Without neighbourhood market data, it's hard to say exactly how it compares, but the price reflects the premium for a pre-war detached home in a sought-after area.

The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. You should expect to spend significantly more on energy than a home with a modern label. The house was built in 1921, so it likely has single glazing and limited insulation. Budget for potential upgrades if you want to improve efficiency.
