About Hoofdstraat 158, Hillegom
The asking price is 17% above the neighbourhood average of €424,913, but the house is also 38% larger than the average home in Centrum (86 m²). The price per m² works out at about €4,193, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,736 per m². So while the total price is high, you get more space for your money.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity bills compared to a modern home. In Centrum, 63% of homes for sale have label A or better, so this house stands out as an older, less efficient property. Budget for significant energy costs.
Very convenient. The Aldi and Albert Heijn are both within a two-minute walk, and the Jumbo is about a five-minute walk away. There are also restaurants and a library nearby. For groceries, you won't need to go far.

The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle.
Hoofdstraat is the main street of Hillegom, so it's likely busier than side streets. The neighbourhood has a high address density (2,087 per km²), indicating an urban feel. If you prefer peace and quiet, a side street might be better, but the convenience of shops and services is unmatched.
The plot is 234 m², which is generous for a detached house in this area. It offers outdoor space, though the listing does not specify a garden or terrace. You would need to view the property to see how the land is laid out.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 119 m² of living space, it likely has multiple rooms, but the exact layout is not provided.
