About Dorpsweg 182, Twisk
The asking price is 96% above the average asking price in Twisk Centrum (€765,000) and it is the most expensive of the six homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, with 619 m² of living space and a plot of 5,310 m², it is far larger than the neighbourhood average of 332 m². Whether the price is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the historic character of this 1886 property.
The home has energy label C. That is a decent rating for a house built in 1886. In the neighbourhood, 28.6% of homes have label C, and another 28.6% have label D or lower. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it is not as efficient as a modern home.
The plot measures 5,310 m², which is exceptionally large. The listing does not specify how the land is used, but it offers plenty of space for gardens, outdoor activities or even a hobby farm. You would need to check local zoning rules for any building plans.
