Beneden Oosterdiep 41

With 398 m² of floor space and a 510 m² plot, the price per square metre is lower than many smaller homes in Veendam. The semi-detached house from 1898 has character and a large garden. Compared to other semi-detached homes in the municipality, the asking price is on the high side, but the size and location in the centre make it a distinctive property.

The home has energy label D. That means it is reasonably efficient but not modern. Heating costs will be higher than for a label A or B home, but lower than for label E, F or G. You can expect to spend more on energy than in a newly built home, but the exact amount depends on usage and future improvements.

Veendam-Centrum is a mixed, green neighbourhood with a moderate urban feel. Residents appreciate the amenities, beautiful buildings and greenery, but some note that shops are being replaced by eateries and that fast-riding fatbikes can be a nuisance. The area has a relatively older population and a park within walking distance.

Poiesz supermarket is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. Aldi and Albert Heijn are within a ten-minute walk. For primary education, IKC Hoi Pippeloi is a five-minute walk, and Winkler Prins secondary school is about ten minutes away. There are several other schools within a short distance.

The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. That makes it feasible for commuting, though not directly on your doorstep.

With 398 m² of floor space and a 510 m² plot, there is plenty of room for a family. The semi-detached layout offers privacy, and the neighbourhood has schools within walking distance. However, the home is from 1898, so you may need to consider maintenance and energy efficiency.
