About Vaartweg 18, Dongen
The asking price of €765,000 is 25% below the average asking price in Dongen-Vaart (€1,023,333) and close to the neighbourhood median of €707,500. Given the large floor area (368 m²) and plot (2,150 m²), the price per m² is about €2,079, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €3,752 per m². So it appears keenly priced.
At 368 m², this home is 39% larger than the neighbourhood average of 265 m². It is one of the largest homes currently for sale in Dongen-Vaart.
The home has energy label C. This is a reasonable rating for a house built in 1880. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label C, while 33% have label A+ and 17% have label A. Label C means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but not excessive.
Built in 1880, this house is older than most in Dongen-Vaart, where 43% of homes date from before 1945. The rest are from later periods, including 14% from after 2010. The age gives it character but may also mean maintenance considerations typical of an older property.
The plot measures 2,150 m², which is very spacious. The listing does not specify how the garden is laid out, but the size offers plenty of outdoor space for gardening, play or relaxation.
The nearest train station is 10.8 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by rail. A car or bicycle would be more practical for reaching the station.
