Achterom 79B
Binnenstad - Buurt 10 02, Hoorn
AreaA cosy upper-floor home in Hoorn's historic heart
This apartment sits right in the middle of Hoorn's old centre, where the streets are lined with centuries of history and the harbour is never far away. It is a compact upper-floor home on the second living level, built in 1988, and it comes with an energy label C. At €275,000, the asking price is keen compared with the neighbourhood average, sitting 54% below the average asking price of €593,200 in this part of town. It is also the cheapest of the 20 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, which makes it an interesting entry point into the local market. For context, that price is in line with what apartments in Hoorn generally go for.
What the home offers
Inside, the home has two rooms in total: one bedroom and one bathroom, all arranged over a single floor. The living area measures 46 m² according to both the BAG registration and the agent's listing, so there is no discrepancy between the two figures. The home is fully insulated according to the agent, and it is heated by a central heating boiler. With a volume of 150 m³, it is a compact but complete living space, and being on the second living level means you get a bit of height and separation from the street below.
