Herengracht 13
Zuiderpolder, Purmerend
AreaA grand canal house in the heart of Purmerend
This is a home with real presence. A 1906 terraced house on the Herengracht, one of Purmerend's most atmospheric streets, set right by the water and the park, in the middle of the historic centre. With 199 m² of living space spread over three floors, it is a substantial family home. The asking price of €995,000 works out at €5,000 per m², which is on the high side compared with other terraced houses in Purmerend.
Inside the house
The agent describes this as a herenhuis, a grand terraced house, with six rooms, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The garden faces southwest, so it catches the afternoon sun. The home is in full ownership, so there is no leasehold to consider. According to the agent, the insulation consists of partial double glazing and secondary glazing, and the heating runs on a combi boiler.
