About Oostdijk 12C, Driehuizen
At 75 m² and with an energy label D, the price of €350,000 is in line with the market for apartments in Alkmaar. The home is from 1652, so it has character but also older construction. Without comparable sales in the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say more precisely, but the asking price seems reasonable for a historic property in a rural village.
The energy label is D, which is average for a home of this age. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern home, but not extreme either. The label is based on the building's insulation and installations, so it's worth checking the specific details with the agent.
The nearest train station is 10.9 km away, so you'll need a car or bus to reach it. Driehuizen is not well connected by public transport, making it more suitable for those who drive.
