Molenpad, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On a wide canal in Leeuwarden, this terraced house from 1899 stands out for its sheer size: 695 m² of living space on a 249 m² plot. With a price of €1,200,000, it is the most expensive of the 13 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and sits 187% above the average asking price of €417,500.

Molenpad is a compact, urban neighbourhood with 1,325 residents. It is a young area: a third of residents are between 15 and 25, and many live alone, 620 single-person households out of 915 total. Families with children are few (105 households). The neighbourhood has a mixed housing stock: 55% are single-family homes, and 38% are owner-occupied. One resident describes it as "a decent neighbourhood but sometimes unsafe," adding: "We have little contact with the neighbours and other residents. Sometimes you do see things that don't belong in the neighbourhood." That is based on a single review, so it is one perspective. For more context, see the Molenpad neighbourhood.
Daily errands are easy: the nearest supermarket is Ekoplaza, just a couple of streets away, and SPAR, Poiesz, Jumbo and Albert Heijn are all within a ten-minute walk. For fresh bread or a quick shop, you have several options. Schools are also close: IKC de Kinderkoepel (primary) is a five-minute walk, and CSG Comenius Mariënburg (secondary) is just around the corner. The train station is a ten-minute walk away. The municipality of Leeuwarden (the municipality of Leeuwarden) offers a full range of amenities, from restaurants to a library.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Hellema Makelaars. The asking price is €1,200,000, and the energy label is E, which means heating costs will be significant for a home of this size.
