About Cornelis Bakkerlaan 1A, Laren (Nh)
The asking price is 40% below the average asking price in Laren-Centrum (€1.416.400), but the home is also 41% smaller than the neighbourhood average (97 m² vs 165 m²). Given the E energy label and 1930s construction, the price is keen for the area, though you'd be paying for the location and potential rather than modern finishes.
The home has an energy label E, which is common for pre-war houses. In Laren-Centrum, 36.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but the label gives a clear picture of the energy performance.
The nearest train station is 5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bike or car to reach it. The area is better suited for those who drive or work locally.
The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with a significant number of residents aged 65 and over (605 out of 1,760). There are also families with children (205 households). The area is quiet and safe, with a low crime rate of 127 incidents per year.
The plot size is 145 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden.
