About Achterstraat 1, Montfoort
The asking price of €599,500 is above the neighbourhood average of €557,500 and the median of €410,000. However, this is a historic end-of-terrace house from 1700, which is rare in Montfoort. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,803, so for 94 m² that would be about €451,000, but older homes often command a premium. Only four homes are currently for sale, so supply is limited.
The energy label is E, which is common for older homes. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have label C and half have label D or lower. Label E means heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but the house has character and original features that may offset that. No specific insulation details are provided in the listing.
The house was built in 1700, making it over 300 years old. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes date from before 1945, so this is one of the oldest. Older homes often have thick walls, high ceilings, and unique details, but may need more maintenance. The listing does not mention any monument status or specific preservation rules.
Montfoort has a mix of ages: 15% are under 15, and 34% of households have children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including KBS De Howiblo and OBS De Hobbitstee. The area is moderately urban with a village atmosphere, and a park is just a five-minute walk away. It is a quiet, family-friendly environment.
The nearest train station is 8.6 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a car, bike, or bus to reach it. The listing does not specify which station, but Montfoort is not directly served by rail; the closest major stations are in Woerden or Utrecht.
Albert Heijn is 241 m away and Jumbo is 455 m, both within a short walk. There are also several primary schools within 300 m, a secondary school at 531 m, and a park at 500 m. A restaurant is 800 m away. For a library or larger supermarkets, you would need to travel further.
The living area of 94 m² is 25% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 126 m². The plot of 80 m² is also modest. This is typical for a historic townhouse in the centre. If you need more space, other homes in Montfoort tend to be larger, but they may not have the same character.
The listing does not mention parking. Given the central location on Achterstraat, street parking may be available but could be limited. Montfoort is a small town, so parking is generally not as tight as in larger cities.
