About Doelenstraat 22, Alkmaar
The asking price of €650,000 is 65% above the neighbourhood average of €394,318. However, this home is also 103% larger than the average (154 m² vs 76 m²), so the price per m² is actually lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,490 per m². Given the size and central location, the price is in line with what you would expect for a property of this type in Binnenstad-West.
The energy label is F, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, and you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 38.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so an F label is not unusual for a pre-war house like this one.
The living area is 154 m², which is well above the neighbourhood average of 76 m². The plot measures 197 m², giving you a generous outdoor space for a terraced house in the city centre. The house was built in 1915, so it has classic proportions and high ceilings typical of that era.
