About Hopschet 16, Vijlen
Given the 158 m² floor area and 130 m² plot, the price is in line with what other semi-detached homes in the area have sold for. The energy label E is less efficient, which may affect running costs, but the location in a quiet village with low crime rates adds to the appeal.
