About Cynthia Lenigestraat 1, Makkum
The asking price of €389,000 is 16% below the average asking price in Makkum (€465,717) and also below the median of €435,000. Given the 145 m² floor area and 229 m² plot, the price per m² works out at about €2,683, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €3,438 per m². So it's priced keenly, though the energy label F and 1876 build year mean you'll want to budget for heating and potential upgrades.
The home has energy label F, which is one of the less efficient ratings. This means heating costs are likely to be higher than in a modern home. In Makkum, about 33% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property. You may want to consider insulation improvements to reduce energy bills.
The nearest train station is 12.1 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by rail. A car or bus would be needed for train connections.
