About Kleine Hoogstraat 14, Leeuwarden
The asking price of €375,000 is 20% below the average neighbourhood asking price of €471,500. Given that the home is 29% larger than the average (182 m² vs 141 m²), the price per m² works out lower than the neighbourhood average of €3,524. That makes it a keen price for the size and location.
The energy label is F, which is on the low end of the scale. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs are likely to be higher than in a more efficient home. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have label A or better, but 40% are label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property in the city centre.
The living area is 182 m², which is 29% larger than the neighbourhood average of 141 m². The plot is 82 m². The house was built in 1600, so it has historic character with thick walls and traditional proportions.
