Merkelbeekerstraat 38

The asking price of €449,500 is below the average sold price of €405,611 in Schinveld, but above the median of €389,500. Given the large plot of 2,855 m² and the 180 m² living space, the price per m² is about €2,498, which is slightly higher than the neighbourhood average of €2,373 per m². So it's priced a bit above the typical per-square-metre rate, but the plot size is exceptional.
