About Weesperstraat 13, Muiden
The asking price of €1,100,000 is on the high side compared to other two-under-one-roof homes in Gooise Meren. However, the historic location in the Vesting Muiden and the 160 m² living space are unique selling points. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it is hard to say whether the price is justified, but the premium reflects the special setting.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1910. This means it is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation or double glazing could bring it up to a higher label.
The nearest train station is 3.6 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a 45-minute walk. For public transport, you would likely need a bus or bike to reach the station.
There are two primary schools within walking distance: Jozefschool Muiden at 125 metres and Kindcentrum Muiderkring at 464 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is 4.5 km away, so a longer commute is needed.
Vesting Muiden recorded 47 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively low for a historic centre. The area feels safe, with a mix of residents and tourists visiting the fortress and marina.
The plot is 72 m², but the listing does not specify whether this includes a garden. Given the historic centre location, outdoor space may be limited to a courtyard or small backyard. You would need to check the exact layout with the agent.
