About Dr. Jan Mulderstraat 2, Zaandijk
The asking price is above the neighbourhood median of €325,000, but this home is larger than average (77 m² vs 57 m²) and is a semi-detached house, which typically costs more than the flats that dominate the local market. Recently sold homes in Rooswijk went for an average of €441,500, so the price is in line with what buyers have been paying for similar properties.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, half of the homes are label B, the other half are D or lower, so this one sits in the middle.
The nearest train station is about 1 km away, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to Zaandam or Amsterdam without needing a car.
