About Kemphaan 13, Castricum
The asking price is above the neighbourhood median of €875,000, but this home is much larger than average (282 m² vs 198 m²) and is a detached house, which is rare in Noord-End. The price per m² works out at about €3,900, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,201 per m², so you are getting more space for your money.
Energy label C is average for a home of this age (built in 1975). It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage and the heating system. In the neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have label C, so it's a common standard.
Noord-End has a calm, mature feel with many older residents. There are 310 households with children, and the primary school is just 80 metres away. The area is safe (53 crimes total) and green, with a park nearby. It's not a bustling family hub, but it's a peaceful setting for raising kids.
Castricum train station is 2.3 km from the home, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. From there, trains run to Amsterdam and Alkmaar. The station is not within walking distance for a daily commute, but it's manageable by bike.
The closest supermarket is Albert Heijn at 1 km (a ten-minute walk), followed by Vomar at 1.2 km. For daily shopping, you can easily walk or cycle. There are also Dekamarkt and Ekoplaza within 1.7 km, giving you plenty of choice.
The plot is 895 m², but the listing does not specify how much of that is garden. The home is detached, so there is certainly outdoor space, but the exact layout, terrace, lawn, driveway, is not described. You would need to view the property to see how the plot is used.
