About Kanaalweg 29, Zandvoort
The asking price of €550,000 matches the neighbourhood median of €545,000, so it's in line with the market. However, the house is smaller than average (71 m² vs 117 m²) and has an energy label G, which means higher running costs. Similar homes in Centrum sold for an average of €583,617 over the past year, so the price is competitive for a detached property in this location.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, indicating poor insulation and high energy consumption. The house was built in 1906, so it likely has single glazing and minimal insulation. Heating costs will be significant, especially in winter. In the neighbourhood, 45.9% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for older properties in Centrum.
Zandvoort aan Zee station is 400 metres away, about a five-minute walk. Trains run regularly to Haarlem (around 10 minutes) and Amsterdam (around 30 minutes). The station is easily reachable on foot from Kanaalweg.
Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Hannie Schaft Basisschool and Mariaschool, both 159 metres away. For secondary education, Wim Gertenbach College Zandvoort is 942 metres away (about a ten-minute walk). There are 12 schools within 5 km, so options are good.
At 71 m², this house is 39% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 117 m² for sold homes. Detached houses in Zandvoort vary, but this is a compact example. The plot is 88 m², which is modest for a detached property. If space is a priority, you may want to consider larger options in the area.
Centrum is a dense, urban area with shops, restaurants and services within walking distance. The supermarket Albert Heijn is 124 metres away, and there are several cafes and restaurants nearby.
