About De Erven 8, Broek In Waterland
The asking price is 25% above the average asking price in Broek in Waterland (€1,392,500). However, this is a detached home on a large plot (1138 m²) in a sought-after village, so the premium reflects its rarity. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood averaged €1,121,591, but those include smaller properties. Given the size and character, the price is on the high side but not unreasonable.
The home has energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient, better than a quarter of homes in the neighbourhood, which have label D or lower. You can expect moderate energy costs, but not the lowest possible. If you want to improve it, label C leaves room for upgrades like better insulation or solar panels.
Built in 1895, this is one of the older homes in Broek in Waterland, 45.5% of the neighbourhood's homes date from before 1945. A house of this age often has character features like high ceilings and original details, but may need maintenance. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should factor in potential updates.
Broek in Waterland is family-friendly: 475 households have children, and the primary school is within walking distance (300 m). The area is quiet (low address density) and safe, with only 82 crimes reported in the latest data. Most homes are owner-occupied, so the community is stable. There are also playgrounds and water nearby.
The nearest train station is 11.5 km away, so commuting by rail is not convenient. You would need a car or bus to reach it. The village itself is car-dependent for most amenities beyond the local school and GP.
The closest supermarket is Albert Heijn at 3.4 km, followed by Dekamarkt at 3.9 km. Both are a short drive. For a wider choice, Dirk and Jumbo are about 5 km away. There are no supermarkets within walking distance, so a car is essential for grocery shopping.
The plot is 1138 m², which is very large for a home in this village. While the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, the size strongly suggests there is outdoor space. You would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
