About Buurt IV 21, Marken
The asking price of €550,000 is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Waterland. However, the house is large (240 m²) and sits on a generous plot (185 m²) in a historic village. The energy label F means higher heating costs, which may affect the overall value. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it is hard to say whether the price is keen or overpriced.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and will have high energy bills, especially in winter. Given the building year of 1890, the house likely has single glazing and little to no cavity wall insulation. You should expect significant heating costs.
The nearest train station is 19.3 km away. Marken is an island without a railway connection, so you would need to drive or take a bus to reach a station. The bus journey to Amsterdam Central takes about 30 minutes.
The closest primary school is De Rietlanden, just 396 m away. There are several other primary schools within 5 km, but secondary education is further: the nearest secondary school is 8.7 km away, so children will need to travel.
The neighbourhood recorded 19 total crimes in the latest data, which is low for an area of this size. The village atmosphere and low population density contribute to a quiet, safe environment.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot is 185 m².
