About Tuinstraat 3, Born
The asking price of €335,000 is 23% below the average asking price of €436,000 in Born, and also below the median asking price of €325,000. However, the floor area (112 m²) is 28% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 156 m². Compared to similar homes sold recently (average sale price €346,524), the price appears competitive, but the smaller size should be factored in.
The home has energy label E. This means it is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs are likely to be higher than in a home with a better label. In Born, 37.5% of homes have label C or better, while 37.5% have label D or lower. You can expect to spend more on energy bills compared to a more modern, well-insulated home.
The nearest train station is 5.7 km away, which is about a 12-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride.
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Openbare Basisschool de Wissel (399 m) and Basisschool Swentibold (436 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 4.5 km away, so a bike or car is needed for older children.
Born recorded 102 total crimes in the latest data, which for a village of 2,450 residents is relatively low. The area feels safe and residential, with a mix of families and older residents.
The plot size is 253 m², which includes the house and garden. The exact garden dimensions are not stated, but the plot is generous for a semi-detached home, so there is likely a good-sized private outdoor space.
The house was built in 1969, so it is over 50 years old. With energy label E, it may need some updates to improve insulation and heating efficiency. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so a viewing is recommended to assess the condition.
