A spacious family home in the Gorechtbuurt
This 1923 terraced house on Gerbrand Bakkerstraat has a warm, lived-in feel from the moment you step inside. With 120 m² of floor space and a 103 m² plot, it's one of the roomiest homes in the area.

For context, terraced houses in Groningen vary widely in size and price. This home has not been online since 14 July 2026.
