About Burgemeester Nieuwenhuijsenstraat 34, Limmen
The asking price of €845,000 is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Castricum, but the 404 m² plot and the quiet location in Limmen West justify a premium. Without recent sale prices in the immediate area, it is hard to say exactly how it compares, but the home is priced to reflect its generous outdoor space and village setting.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1986. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but it is not as efficient as a modern home. If you want to improve the label, you could consider insulation upgrades or solar panels, but the current label is perfectly liveable.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a 45-minute walk. For daily commuting by train, you would likely cycle or drive to the station. The station itself is not named in the listing, but it serves connections to Alkmaar and Haarlem.
Two primary schools are within walking distance: Kindcentrum HET KLEURENORKEST at 362 m and Kindcentrum De Kerkuil at 816 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is Vonk Castricum at 2.3 km, which is a short bike ride away. The area is well served for families with young children.
You have two supermarkets just around the corner: Dekamarkt at 459 m and Albert Heijn at 492 m. For other shops, restaurants and a library are also within a ten-minute walk. Limmen West is a quiet residential area, but daily essentials are very close by.
The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, but with a plot of 404 m², there is certainly outdoor space. Detached homes in this area typically have a private garden, but you would need to check the exact layout with the agent. The plot size suggests plenty of room for a lawn, patio or even a vegetable patch.
