About Korte Haven 1E, Schiedam
The asking price is €1,250,000, which is 175% above the neighbourhood average of €454,833. However, this home is also 85% larger than the average (224 m² vs 121 m²) and has an A energy label, which is rare in an area where most homes have labels C or lower. The price per m² works out to about €5,580, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,779 per m², but the home's size and efficiency justify the premium.
The floor area is 224 m², which is significantly larger than the average home in the Walvisbuurt (121 m²). The property was built in 1780 and has an A energy label, so it combines historic character with modern efficiency.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means heating costs are likely to be low compared to older homes in the area, most homes in the Walvisbuurt have labels C or lower (66.7% are D or below). An A label is a strong selling point for a building from 1780.
The floor area of 224 m² suggests ample space, but the exact layout and number of bedrooms are not provided by the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it is unclear if there is any private outdoor space. You would need to check the full listing or contact the agent for details.
