About Molenstraat 3, Herwen
The asking price of €498,000 is above the average sold price of €370,714 in Herwen, but that average is based on only seven sales and includes smaller homes.

At 159 m², this home is 57% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 374 m². That average is skewed by a few very large homes, so this size is more typical of a modern detached house. The plot of 466 m² offers a good amount of outdoor space.
