About Machiel Vrijenhoeklaan 450-32, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €485,000 is 49% below the neighbourhood average of €949,214, but the home is also 37% smaller than the average (97 m² vs 154 m²). Given the large plot and the detached status, the price is keen compared to other detached homes in Ockenburgh, where the median asking price is €862,500.
The plot measures 183,210 m², which is exceptionally large for a detached house. This offers plenty of outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or even potential development, subject to local planning regulations. The home itself has 97 m² of living space, built in 1996.
The home has energy label B, which is efficient. In the neighbourhood, 29.4% of homes have label A+ and 35.3% have label A, so label B is still above average. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though exact bills depend on usage.
