Jirnsum, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Dekamastrjitte sits in the quiet village of Jirnsum, a short distance from the water and the open Frisian countryside. With 120 m² of living space and a plot of 255 m², it offers a comfortable layout for a family or couple.

For context, end-of-terrace houses in Leeuwarden tend to vary widely in price.

About Dekamastrjitte 21, Jirnsum
The asking price of €239,000 is significantly lower than the average sale price in Jirnsum, which was €503,800 for the five homes sold recently. However, those sales may have been for larger or more modern properties. Given the home's age (1971) and energy label D, the price seems in line with what you'd expect for a house that likely needs some modernisation.
The home has energy label D, which is average for a house built in 1971. In the neighbourhood, all homes have label C or lower, so this is typical. Label D means heating and electricity costs will be moderate but not as low as a modern home. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing to improve efficiency.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km from the house, which is about a 35-minute walk or a 10-minute bike ride. This makes it feasible to commute to Leeuwarden or other cities, though you'd likely need a bike or car for the last leg.
There are two primary schools within walking distance: It Tredde Sté (128 m) and Basisschool Sint Radboud (155 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is Sevenwolden Grou, about 2.6 km away, so older children would need to cycle or take a bus.
Jirnsum is very family-friendly: 205 of the 575 households have children, and the area is quiet with low crime. Most homes are single-family houses with gardens, and there are playgrounds and green spaces nearby. The village has a primary school and a daycare centre within walking distance.
The nearest supermarkets are about 3 km away: Jumbo and Lidl are both around 3.1 km, and Poiesz is 3.7 km. You'll need a car or bike for grocery shopping, but the short distance makes it manageable.
