About Lourens Costerstraat 17, Haarlem
The asking price is €749,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €714,071 and the median of €705,000. However, this house is larger (112 m²) than the average (107 m²) and has a 121 m² plot. The price per m² works out to about €6,688, slightly above the neighbourhood average of €6,530. Given its age and character, the price is on the high side but reflects its unique features.
The energy label is C. This means the home has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, but it's not as efficient as modern homes. You can expect moderate energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 81.8% of homes have label A or better, so this home is less efficient than most in the area.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes commuting by train feasible but not as convenient as living right next to the station.
