Fine neighbourhood, except there's a neighbour who hates everyone and every Saturday she gets booze and screams all night long.

About Midlumerlaan 5, Harlingen
The asking price of €850,000 is significantly higher than the average sale price in the neighbourhood, which was €352,818 for 11 homes sold recently. However, this home is exceptional: 317 m² of living space on a 322 m² plot, built in 1908. Corner houses of this size are rare in Harlingen, so the premium reflects its unique character and space.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home with a better label. The neighbourhood has 100% label A homes among recent sales, but this older property (1908) is in a different league.
The neighbourhood is quiet and safe, according to residents, though one mentions a difficult neighbour. It has a mix of ages, with many older residents. For groceries, Jumbo, Albert Heijn and Aldi are all within a short walk. Primary schools are very close, and secondary schools are within a ten-minute walk. The train station is also a ten-minute walk away.
The plot is 322 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden.
With 317 m² of living space, there is plenty of room, but the exact layout and number of bedrooms are not provided.
The home dates from 1908 and has an energy label D, which suggests it may need some modernisation. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so a thorough inspection would be advisable to assess the condition of the roof, plumbing, and electrical systems.
The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
