About Floresstraat 15, Haarlem
The asking price of €625,000 is significantly higher than the neighbourhood average of €395,000. However, that average is based on a single listing, and recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €508,571. Given the 186 m² plot and the fact that it's a terraced house in a sought-after part of Haarlem, the price is on the high side but reflects the scarcity of such properties.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. All homes in the neighbourhood have labels D or lower, so this is typical for the area. Improving the insulation could save money in the long run.
The plot is 186 m², which is generous for a terraced house in Haarlem. While the exact garden size isn't stated, it likely offers a good-sized outdoor space. The house itself is 72 m², so the garden is a real bonus.
