About Boterzwin 3532, Julianadorp
The asking price of €265,000 is 31% below the average asking price in Boterzwin (€383,875) and is the lowest of the four homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the living area of 68 m² is 40% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 114 m². The price per square metre works out at about €3,897, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,461 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium per square metre for the compact home and the large plot.
The plot measures 1,571 m², which is unusually large for a terraced house. The listing does not specify how the garden is laid out, but the size gives plenty of scope for outdoor living, gardening, or even extending the home (subject to planning permission). Keep in mind that the house itself is 68 m², so the indoor space is modest compared to the outdoor area.
The home has an energy label B, which is efficient. In the neighbourhood, 60% of homes have label B, and 20% have label A. With label B, you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older homes with labels D or lower. The home was built in 1992, so it likely has reasonable insulation and double glazing, though the exact specifications are not stated.
The nearest train station is 7.7 km away, which is about a 15-minute drive or a 30-minute bike ride. This makes the home more suitable for those who rely on a car or bicycle for longer journeys.
