With 223 m² of floor space spread over several floors, there is plenty of room for a family. The price of €675,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, reflecting the generous size and the fact that semi-detached houses in Stichtse Vecht are relatively scarce here.

Is €675,000 a fair price for this semi-detached house?
The asking price of €675,000 is on the high side compared to the average for semi-detached homes in the neighbourhood. However, the property is large at 223 m², which is well above the typical size in this area. The final sale price will depend on how many buyers are drawn to the generous floor area and the central Maarssen location.
What does energy label F mean for this home?
Energy label F is the second-lowest rating on the scale, so you can expect relatively high energy costs. The label is an official registration and does not tell you exactly which parts of the home need attention, it could be the heating system, the glazing, or the insulation. It is worth budgeting for possible improvements.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. That makes commuting to Utrecht or Amsterdam feasible, though you would likely use a bike or bus for the last leg.
What schools are near this home?
There are several primary schools within walking distance. WereldKidz Bolenstein is just 118 m away, De Pionier is 584 m, and Basisschool De Klaroen is 757 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 3.2 km away, so a bike or bus is needed for older children.
Is the neighbourhood safe?
The neighbourhood recorded 27 total crimes in the latest data, which is low for an area of this size. With a strong owner-occupied housing stock and a mix of ages, it feels like a settled and safe place to live.
How big is the plot?
The plot measures 82 m², which is modest for a semi-detached house. The house itself is tall and spacious inside, but the outdoor space is limited. If a large garden is important to you, this may be a point to consider.
