About Wikelerdyk 16, Balk
The asking price is 95% above the neighbourhood average of €495,300, and it is the most expensive of the ten homes currently for sale in Balk. However, the floor area (303 m²) is 126% larger than the local average of 134 m², and the plot is 2020 m². Given the size and the fact that it is a detached house, the price is on the high side but reflects the exceptional space.
The home has an energy label E. That means it is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Balk, about 22% of homes have label A, 33% label B, and 33% label D or lower. This home falls in the less efficient category.
The plot is 2020 m², which is very large. The listing does not specify how much of that is garden, but given the size, there is plenty of outdoor space for a garden, lawn, or even a vegetable patch.
