About Kapelstraat 65, Bussum
The asking price is 28% above the average for homes currently for sale in Brinklaan (€623,447). However, this house has 308 m² of living space, which is 123% more than the neighbourhood average of 138 m². So you're paying for significantly more space in a central location. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value that extra square footage.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, 62.6% of homes for sale have a label of C or better, so this one is below average. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern home. It's worth considering potential improvements.
Brinklaan is very central. Supermarkets like Nettorama (229 m) and Ekoplaza (248 m) are within a few minutes' walk, and Albert Heijn is about 500 m away.

The neighbourhood recorded 226 total crimes in the latest data. With a population of 1,505, that works out to about 150 crimes per 1,000 residents. This is relatively high, which is typical for a very central urban area with a high address density (3,403 per km²). It's something to be aware of.
At 308 m², this house is much larger than average. The average floor area for homes currently for sale in Brinklaan is 138 m², so this one is 123% bigger. The plot is 186 m². If you need plenty of indoor space, this is a standout option in the neighbourhood.
