About Giekstraat 15, Volendam
The asking price of €387,500 is 17% below the average asking price in Volendam-Oude kom (€468,929) and also below the median of €395,000. Given that the floor area is 33% smaller than the neighbourhood average, the price per m² works out at about €5,098, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,568 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but the smaller size means a higher per-square-metre cost.
The home has energy label D. This is a mid-range label: it means the home is reasonably efficient but not as well insulated as modern standards. In the neighbourhood, half of homes have label A, so this one is less efficient than many. You can expect moderate heating costs, but no specific amounts are available from the listing.
The nearest train station is 10.6 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bus or car to reach it. The listing does not specify bus connections, but Volendam has bus services to nearby towns.
Two primary schools are within a few minutes' walk: Sint Jozef Basisschool (169 m) and De Samensprong (383 m). For secondary education, Don Bosco College is about 1.2 km away, a 15-minute walk. There are also several other schools within 5 km.
Albert Heijn is just 329 m away, around a five-minute walk. Dirk and Vomar are also within 500 m, so daily grocery shopping is very convenient. For a wider selection, there are seven supermarkets within 5 km.
The house was built in 1925, so it's nearly a century old. The listing does not mention any renovations or the current condition, so you would need to view it to assess the state of the plumbing, wiring, and structure. The energy label D suggests some updates may have been done, but not to the highest modern standards.
The plot is 66 m², which typically includes some outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, terrace, or balcony.
The listing does not state the number of rooms or bedrooms. With 76 m² of living space, it could have two or three bedrooms, but this is not confirmed. The layout is not described, so you would need to inquire with the agent for details.
