A spacious detached home in Zwammerdam
This 1930s detached house on Spoorlaan sits in the heart of Zwammerdam, a village with a quiet, rural feel. With 235 m² of living space and a 713 m² plot, it offers plenty of room for a family. The last known asking price of €995,000 was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €905,000, but the home was larger than typical for the area.
