About De Kromten 23, Waskemeer
The asking price of €525,000 is 40% above the average asking price in Waskemeer (€375,000) and is the highest of the three homes currently for sale. However, this house is also 34% larger than the neighbourhood average (169 m² vs 126 m²). Whether it is fair depends on how you value the extra space and the quiet location.
The home has energy label C. This is a middling rating: it is not as efficient as modern A-rated homes, but better than older D-G labels. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though not as low as a highly insulated home. Half of the homes in Waskemeer have label C, and the other half are A or A+.
The plot is 500 m². The listing does not specify whether there is a garden, but a plot of this size typically includes outdoor space.
Waskemeer is a very quiet, rural village with few amenities. One resident describes it as 'dead' with no shops and a combined primary school class. Most residents are families or couples, and the area has a low crime rate (3 total offences). It is not a place for those seeking nightlife or convenience.
A primary school (Christelijke Basisschool De Paadwizer) is 157 m away, and a secondary school (CSG Liudger) is 351 m away. The nearest supermarket (Poiesz) is 3 km away, so you will need a car for groceries. A GP is 3.6 km, and a restaurant is 3.5 km.
The nearest train station is 26.7 km away, so commuting by train is impractical.
With 169 m² of living space, it is a spacious home, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to contact the agent for room details.
The house was built in 1996, so it is nearly 30 years old. It is from a period when building standards were moderate. The energy label C is consistent with a home of that era.
