Violierstraat 180

A spacious detached house on a leafy street

This detached house on Violierstraat sits in a quiet residential part of Almelo, with a generous 248 m² plot and 99 m² of living space. Built in 1930, it has an energy label D, so heating costs are something to keep an eye on. At €339,000, it is the most expensive of the five homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and sits 20% above the average asking price of €283,300, so it is on the high side compared to the local market. For context, detached houses in Almelo are a small segment of the housing stock.
