About Wassenaarseweg 179, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is above the neighbourhood median of €535,000, but this home is much larger than average (224 m² vs 124 m²). The price per m² works out to about €3,795, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,602 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.
