About Jan Steenstraat 4, Leeuwarden
The asking price of €262,500 is close to the average sale price in the neighbourhood (€264,897) and slightly above the median (€248,250). Given the 107 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €2,453, which is below the neighbourhood average of €2,849 per m². So it's priced competitively for the size.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the house is likely poorly insulated and will have higher heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 61.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1935 property. You may want to consider future insulation improvements.
The train station is 0.6 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to other cities or for trips to the city centre.
There are several schools within walking distance. Primary schools include Michaelschool (303 m) and IKC Johan Willem Friso (307 m). For secondary education, Chr. Gymnasium Beyers Naudé is 293 m away. All are just a few minutes' walk.
Currently, there are 12 homes for sale in the Gerard Dou neighbourhood. Over the past period, 29 homes were sold, with an average selling time of 37 days. This suggests a fairly active market.
The plot is 129 m². The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, so it's not possible to confirm outdoor space from the data. The plot size is typical for a terraced house of this era.
With 107 m² of living space over multiple floors and a plot of 129 m², it could work for a small family. The neighbourhood has many families with children, and there are good schools nearby.
