About Prinsenstraat 17, Hilversum
The asking price of €350,000 is 27% below the neighbourhood average of €477,182, which makes it a relatively affordable option for a corner house in Hilversum. However, the energy label G and the 1894 build year mean you may face higher running costs. The median price in the area is €422,500, so this home is priced to reflect its condition.
Havenstraatbuurt is a very strongly urban area with a high density of addresses. It's popular among 25-45 year olds, and many homes date from before 1945. The mix of residents includes singles and families, and the area has a lively, central feel. Public transport is good, with the train station 1.4 km away.
Albert Heijn is 239 metres away, Dirk at 492 metres, and Aldi at 559 metres, all within easy walking distance. Primary schools Paulusschool (339 m) and Violenschool (346 m) are also close, as is the St. Aloysius College secondary school at 595 metres.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so heating and electricity costs are likely to be high. The home was built in 1894 and has not been updated to modern insulation standards. You can expect significant energy bills, and improvements like double glazing or insulation would be a major investment.
The plot size is 101 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden. The house is a corner property, so there may be outdoor space, but this is not confirmed in the data.
With 74 m² of living space, it could have two or three bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
