About Dorpsstraat 1, Bakel
The asking price is 105% above the neighbourhood average of €678,136, but this home is exceptional: 552 m² of living space on a 2,080 m² plot, built in 1818. The average price per m² in Bakel is €3,184, so this home's price per m² is around €2,516, which is actually below the neighbourhood average. Given its size and character, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a property of this stature.
