On a per-square-metre basis, the price of €10,573 is below the neighbourhood average of €13,231, so it's actually competitive for its size. The median price in the area is €975,000, so this is clearly a premium home.
The Leliegracht e.o. neighbourhood has a mix of residents, but only about 10% of households have children. Most households are singles (45%) or couples without children (17%). There are primary schools within walking distance, but the area is more popular with young professionals and older couples. The urban density is very high, so it's a lively, central location rather than a quiet suburban one.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. This gives you direct connections to other parts of the city and beyond.
Energy label B means the home is reasonably efficient, with lower heating costs compared to older properties. In the neighbourhood, only about 11% of homes have label B, while 48% have label D or lower. So this home is above average in energy performance, which is a plus for a 1910 building.
