About Van Merlenlaan 31, Heemstede
Given the 626 m² of living space and the 2,968 m² plot, the price is on the high side. However, detached homes of this size are rare in Heemstede, and the location is very desirable. There are no recent comparable sales in the immediate neighbourhood to benchmark against, so the price reflects the unique character of the property.
The home has energy label D. This is average for a house of this age (1928). You can expect moderate heating costs, but improvements like better insulation or a modern heating system could bring the label up and reduce bills.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short cycle ride. Heemstede is well connected by road, but the station is not within walking distance for a quick commute.
There are several primary schools within a few streets away: Algemeen Bijzondere Basisschool Icarus (551 m), Katholieke Basisschool De Ark (614 m), and De Evenaar (654 m). Secondary schools are about 1.4 km away, so children can walk or cycle.
