About Gauke Boelensstraat 60, Drachten
The asking price of €700,000 is on the high side compared to other vrijstaande woningen in Smallingerland, but the large plot of 986 m² is a key factor. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly how it stacks up, but the spacious plot and detached nature add value.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house from 1972. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring it up to a higher label and reduce bills further.
