About Verlengde Hereweg 196, Groningen
The asking price is 124% above the average asking price in the Villabuurt (€751,125). However, this home is also much larger than average, 280 m² versus 156 m², and sits on a 1643 m² plot. The price per square metre works out at about €6,018, which is above the neighbourhood average of €4,486/m². So it is on the high side, but the size and plot are exceptional.
The energy label is E. In the Villabuurt, most homes for sale have a better label: 25% have label A, 12.5% label B, and 50% label C. Only 12.5% have label D or lower. So this home is less energy-efficient than the typical home in the area, which means higher heating costs to expect.
The plot measures 1643 m², which is very generous for a home in the city. The listing does not specify how the garden is laid out, but the size offers plenty of outdoor space. You would need to see the property to judge the garden's condition and orientation.
