About Spaarndamseweg 448B, Haarlem
The asking price of €790,000 is significantly higher than the neighbourhood median of €395,000, but this apartment is also much larger than average (118 m² vs 82 m²) and has an exceptional A+++ energy label. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €508,571, so this property is on the high side, reflecting its size and efficiency.
The agent has not included the year of construction in the listing. This is not unusual for older properties, but it means the exact age of the building is unknown. The neighbourhood consists entirely of pre-1945 homes, so it is likely from that era, but this is not confirmed.
An A+++ label is the highest possible energy rating, indicating exceptional energy efficiency. This is very rare in the Molukkenbuurt, where none of the current for-sale homes have even an A label. It means heating and electricity costs will be very low, and the home is well-insulated.
The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. Haarlem's main station offers connections to Amsterdam, Leiden, and other cities.
