At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including MOZA Makelaardij. The energy label is D, which is less efficient than much of the current housing stock in the neighbourhood, so heating costs may be higher than average.

About Merelweg 42, Wapenveld
The asking price of €495,000 is slightly above the median of €399,000 but below the average sold price of €545,308 in Wapenveld. Given the large plot of 573 m² and the property's age (1938), the price seems in line with the market.

The energy label is D, which is below the average for homes currently for sale in Wapenveld. In the neighbourhood, about 21% of homes have label D or lower, while over 60% have labels A to C. A D label means higher energy costs compared to more efficient homes, so you should budget for higher heating and electricity bills.
The plot measures 573 m², which is generous for a detached house in this area. The garden is not described in the listing, but the size gives you plenty of outdoor space for gardening, play, or even extending the house, subject to planning permission. The average plot for detached homes in the neighbourhood is not specified, but this is clearly above the typical size for a 1930s home.
