This 1928 upper maisonette on the J.C. Kapteynlaan sits in the Professorenbuurt, a lively part of Groningen's Oud-Noord district.

At €345,000, the asking price was on the high side compared to the average for apartments in Groningen, which typically go for around €3632 per square metre according to the agent's listing. This home has not been online since 11 August 2026.
Inside the home
The apartment spans two floors and includes four rooms, four bedrooms, and one bathroom. It is a double upper maisonette, located on the second living floor, with a balcony and a free view.
