About Rijksstraatweg 19, Utrecht
The asking price is 111% above the average asking price in Rijnvliet (€1,184,909) and is the highest of the 11 homes currently for sale. However, this home is also 87% larger than the neighbourhood average (187 m²) and is a historic detached house from 1835, which is very unusual in this area. The price reflects its unique character and size, so it is on the high side compared to the local market.
With 349 m² of living space, this home is 87% larger than the average home for sale in the neighbourhood, which is 187 m². The plot of 615 m² is also generous. Most homes in Rijnvliet are modern and smaller, so this property offers significantly more space.
The home has an energy label C. This means it is reasonably efficient but not as efficient as the newer homes in the neighbourhood, where over 95% have label A or better. With a building year of 1835, some heating costs are to be expected, but label C is still a decent rating for a home of this age.
The nearest train station is 3.5 km from the home. This is a moderate distance, so you would likely need a bike or car to reach it comfortably. The neighbourhood is not directly connected to the rail network, but Utrecht city centre is accessible by bus or car.
