The house itself
The house was built in 2017, making it a recent addition to a street where many homes are older. It carries an energy label A, which is an efficient label, so you can expect relatively modest energy costs. The listing does not go into detail about the layout, the number of bedrooms or bathrooms, or whether there is a garden or garage.

The agent, Koningsstede Makelaardij, presents the home with these key figures, but leaves the finer points of the interior to your imagination.
