About Prinsenhofweg 1, Schoonebeek
The asking price of €425,000 is in line with the market for semi-detached houses in Emmen. The home has a floor area of 98 m² and a large plot of 804 m², which adds value. Energy label B means reasonable running costs. Without specific neighbourhood market data, it's hard to say more, but the price appears competitive for what's on offer.
The energy label is B, which is quite efficient. This means the home is well-insulated and you can expect lower heating bills compared to older homes with lower labels. The house was built in 1940, so the label B suggests it has been upgraded over time.
The plot measures 804 m², which is very generous. This gives you plenty of space for a garden, possibly a lawn, patio, or even a vegetable patch. The exact layout of the garden is not described in the listing, but the size is a standout feature.
There are two primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool De Iemenhof at 1.3 km and Christelijk Basisschool De Oliebron at 1.8 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 11.2 km away, so you would need to drive or take a bus.
