About Ietje Kooistrastraat 29, Drachten
At 130 m² and with an energy label C, the price of €274,500 is in line with the market for a mid-terrace house in this part of Drachten. The home was built in 1966 and sits on a 176 m² plot. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced for the area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house of this age. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but not as low as a modern A-label home. The label gives an indication of the home's energy performance, so you know what to budget for heating and electricity.
The nearest train station is 19.5 km away, so this is not a home for daily train commuting. Buses are available, and the resident review mentions easy bus access. For longer journeys, you'd likely drive or take a bus to a station further afield.
De Singels west is a moderately urban neighbourhood with a mix of ages. One resident calls it 'Cosy' and appreciates the accessibility by bus, nearby healthcare, sports facilities, and schools. The main downside mentioned is noise from the Zuiderhogeweg. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the area feels settled.
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. Openbare Basisschool de Tille is just 200 m away, and Gomarus College Drachten (secondary) is about 850 m. Other primary schools like St. Lukas and Sjalom are also close by, making it convenient for families with children.
Albert Heijn is the closest, at about 700 m. Dirk, Ekoplaza, Jumbo and Lidl are all within 1.2 km, so you have plenty of choice for daily groceries. Most are a short bike ride or a ten-minute walk.
The listing does not specify the garden's size or orientation, but as a mid-terrace house, you can expect a private outdoor space at the back.
