About Kasteelweg 7, Baexem
The asking price is 89% above the neighbourhood average of €515,222, making it the most expensive of the nine homes currently for sale in Kern Baexem. However, the apartment is also much larger than average (320 m² vs 164 m²) and has a historic character (built in 1660). Whether it is fair depends on how you value those extras.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and heating costs are likely to be high. Given the building's age (1660), improvements such as insulation or double glazing may be limited or require special permits. You should expect significant energy bills.
With 320 m² of floor area, this apartment is 95% larger than the neighbourhood average of 164 m². It is exceptionally spacious for the area, where most homes are single-family houses. The large size partly explains the high price.
Kern Baexem has a balanced population: about 275 households with children and 360 without. There are primary schools within walking distance (Basisschool Harlekijn at 0.9 km) and a secondary school 3.7 km away. The area is quiet and rural, with low traffic and plenty of green space nearby.
The nearest train station is 10.1 km away. This makes public transport less convenient for daily commuting, so a car is almost essential for getting to work or to larger towns.
The closest supermarket is SPAR at 1.1 km, with Aldi, Jumbo and Lidl within 3.7,4.3 km. A GP is 0.7 km away, a restaurant 0.8 km, and a library 0.6 km. For daily groceries, the SPAR is a short walk or cycle.
The building dates from 1660, making it over 360 years old. Such historic homes often require specialised maintenance and may have restrictions on alterations. The energy label G also suggests the building is not modernised. Buyers should factor in potential renovation costs.
The average sold price in the neighbourhood over the past period was €427,240, with an average time on market of 71 days. This apartment is priced well above that, so its resale value will depend on how the market values its unique size and history. It is not a typical investment property.
