About Hof van Edenlaan 5, Drachten
The asking price of €790,000 is significantly higher than the average sale price of €314,667 for homes sold recently in De Swetten oost. However, this house has a very large plot of 1520 m² and 258 m² of floor space, which is exceptional for the neighbourhood. The price reflects the size and rarity of such a property, so it is on the high side compared to typical homes in the area.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1947. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy bills, but improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring it up to a higher label.
The plot is 1520 m², which is very large for a detached house in this neighbourhood. While the exact layout of the garden is not described, the size suggests plenty of outdoor space for gardening, play, or even extending the house, subject to planning permission.

The nearest train station is 18.1 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it. The neighbourhood is better suited for driving, with good road connections to the rest of Drachten and beyond.
