Oosterdiep OZ 112

The asking price of €475,000 is in line with the market for detached houses in Emmen. The home has 157 m² of living space on a large plot of 1720 m², which adds value. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it is hard to say more, but the price reflects the size and the plot.

The home has energy label C, which means it is reasonably efficient. You can expect moderate energy costs, but not as low as an A or B label.

The plot measures 1720 m², which is very spacious. It gives you plenty of room for a garden, possibly a vegetable patch, or even an extension, subject to planning permission. The exact layout and what is currently in the garden are not described in the listing.

Oosterdiep is a quiet, rural neighbourhood with mostly families and older residents. Almost all homes are owner-occupied single-family houses. The area has low crime figures and a peaceful atmosphere. It is not very urban, with few amenities within walking distance, so a car is useful.

The nearest supermarkets are Boni at 2.8 km and Aldi at 3.0 km, both about a 35-minute walk or a short drive. For more choice, you can go to SPAR, Coop or Jumbo, which are further away.

The nearest primary school, Openbare Basisschool de Bente, is 1.4 km away, about a 15-minute walk. Other primary schools are within 3-4 km. For secondary education, the closest school is 9.1 km away, so a daily commute is needed.

The nearest train station is 11.8 km away, so public transport is limited. A car is almost essential for getting around, especially for commuting or secondary school.

The house was built in 1966, so it is over 50 years old. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done, but the listing does not mention any recent renovations. You should expect some maintenance typical for a home of this age.
