A classic upper maisonette in the heart of Den Bosch
This upper maisonette on Ridderstraat 20 sits right in the middle of the historic Binnenstad centrum, where the streets hum with cafés, shops and daily life. Built in 1900, the home spans three floors and offers 78 m² of living space according to the agent, though the BAG registration records 61 m². The asking price of €310,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €845,939, and it also sits below the average price per m² in the area. For context, the wider supply of [apartments in Den Bosch]( /koopwoningen/s-hertogenbosch/appartementen/) varies widely in price and size.

The apartment has four rooms in total, including two bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over three floors. It is located on the first living floor of the building. The home has partial double glazing and is heated by a central heating boiler. The energy label is F, which is the least efficient label, so expect higher energy costs.
