About Willem de Zwijgerlaan 13, Amersfoort
The asking price of €1,650,000 is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €1,395,000 for detached houses. However, this home has a very large plot of 1170 m², which is exceptional. The average price per m² in the area is €5,858, and this home's price per m² is about €7,333, reflecting the plot size. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood averaged €741,000, but those were likely smaller properties. Given the unique plot, the price is on the high side but in line with what you'd expect for such a property.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1991. In the neighbourhood, one third of homes have label C, one third label B, and one third label A. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring it up to a higher label.
The plot measures 1170 m², which is very generous for a detached house in this area. It gives you plenty of garden space, room for a large terrace, and possibly even a swimming pool or a separate garden studio, subject to planning permission.
