About Westzijde 146, Zaandam
The asking price of €850,000 is 92% above the neighbourhood average of €443,719. However, this home is exceptional: at 363 m², it is 332% larger than the average home in Oud West (84 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €2,341, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €5,946 per m². So while the total price is high, the space you get is substantial.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, and heating costs are likely to be high. The property was built in 1895, so it may have single glazing and poor insulation. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property.
The floor area is 363 m², which is very spacious. The average home in Oud West is 84 m², so this apartment offers more than four times the typical living space. The exact layout is not specified, but the size suggests multiple rooms and generous proportions.
