The asking price of €1,600,000 is 266% above the average asking price in Zuidwijk (€436,684). However, this home is exceptional: 633 m² of living space on a 3290 m² plot, built in 1877. The average home in the neighbourhood is 116 m² and built after 1990. So while the price is high, it reflects the unique size, age, and land. Comparable properties in the area are rare.

The energy label is C. For a home built in 1877, that is quite good, it means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency. You can expect moderate energy costs, but not as low as a modern A-label home. The neighbourhood has no homes with label C or lower; all other homes in Zuidwijk have label A or better, so this home is less efficient than the local average.

The plot measures 3290 m², which is enormous for a home in Zuidwijk. It offers plenty of space for a large garden, outdoor entertaining, or even additional structures (subject to planning permission). The home itself has 633 m² of floor area, spread over multiple floors. The exact layout is not specified, but a home of this size likely has many rooms.

Zuidwijk is a quiet, clean, and family-friendly neighbourhood. One resident says: 'The neighbourhood is nice, with many different families of various ages. Generally, the area is clean and quiet. Most people are friendly and respectful.' It has a low crime rate (69 total offences) and is predominantly residential with owner-occupied homes. The urbanity level is 2 (strongly urban), but it feels spacious.

The nearest train station is 3.4 km away. That is about a 10-minute bike ride or a 7-minute drive. There are no bus lines specified in the listing, so a car or bicycle is the most practical way to reach the station.

Primary school De Zonnewijzer is 269 m away (a 3-minute walk). Kindcentrum De Vaart is 692 m away (about 8 minutes on foot). For secondary education, Huygens College is 1 km away (a 12-minute walk). There is also a special education school, VSO Dijk en Waard, at 993 m.

Albert Heijn is 381 m away (a 5-minute walk). Vomar is 477 m away (6 minutes on foot). A second Albert Heijn is 762 m away (a 10-minute walk). For organic groceries, Ekoplaza is 1.1 km away. So daily shopping is very convenient.

The house was built in 1877, making it over 140 years old. That is unusual for Zuidwijk, where all other homes were built after 1990. An older home often has character, high ceilings, and solid construction, but may require more maintenance. The energy label C suggests it has been updated to some extent. A structural survey is recommended before purchase.
