About Baak van Brouwershaven 7, Amersfoort
The asking price is €695,000, which is well above the neighbourhood average of €395,000. However, this home is 156 m², more than double the average size of 77 m² in De Baken. The price per square metre works out at about €4,455, which is actually below the local average of €5,130 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting a lot of space for your money.
This home has an energy label A+, which is the highest possible rating. It means the house is extremely energy-efficient, with excellent insulation and likely a modern heating system. Your energy bills will be low, and the home is future-proof. In De Baken, none of the other homes currently for sale have label A+, so this is a standout feature.
However, the listing does not specify the garden size or layout. Given that this is a terraced house built in 2016, it is reasonable to expect a private outdoor space, but you would need to check the exact dimensions with the agent.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. De Gondelier (410 m) and PC basisschool De Vuurvogel (420 m) are both about a five-minute walk away. KBS De Marke is a bit further at 594 m.

The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Amersfoort has good rail connections, but from this home you are not right next to the station, you would likely cycle or drive to catch a train.
