About J.C. van Hattumweg 120, Amstelveen
The asking price of €1,500,000 is significantly above the neighbourhood average of €380,000, but that average is based on a single data point and reflects much smaller homes. The 109 m² floor area is 98% larger than the neighbourhood average of 55 m², and the plot of 1542 m² is exceptionally large. Given the rarity of detached houses in Kastelenbuurt, the price is on the high side but reflects the unique size and type.
The home has energy label D. In Kastelenbuurt, all available homes for sale have label A or better, so this property is less efficient than most in the area. That means you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The house was built in 1968, so some energy improvements may be needed to bring it up to modern standards.
The plot measures 1542 m², which is very generous for a detached house in this area. While the listing does not specify how much of that is garden, the large plot suggests plenty of outdoor space for gardening, play, or even extending the home (subject to planning permission).
