Laarstraat en omgeving, Zutphen
NeighbourhoodThis 16th-century terraced house on Melatensteeg sits in the oldest part of Zutphen, where the streets are cobbled and the atmosphere is centuries old. With 147 m² of living space and a 187 m² plot, it is unusually spacious for a city-centre home. The asking price of €395,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €436,462, making it a keen option compared to other terraced houses in Zutphen.
This is a neighbourhood that feels like a village within the city. One resident says: "I moved here almost two years ago, on the Wanne, and I think it's a lovely neighbourhood! Young and old mixed together. Nice residents' committee that is greening the neighbourhood." The only complaint is dog poop on the pavement. The area is densely built and very urban, with mostly pre-war homes and a mix of ages, many singles, but also families and older residents. Average incomes are in line with the city. This is the neighbourhood Laarstraat en omgeving.
Your daily bread comes from AH XL, just a couple of streets away. For smaller shops, the SPAR is also within walking distance. The nearest primary school is the Bijbelgetrouw KindCentrum de Bongerd, a five-minute walk, and the Montessori kindcentrum de Plotter is a bit further. Secondary schools like the Eligant Lyceum are also close by. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre with its restaurants and library is on your doorstep. This is the municipality Zutphen.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Makelaarsland and also appears on Huispedia, so it is available through several channels.

I moved here almost two years ago, on the Wanne, and I think it's a lovely neighbourhood! Young and old mixed together. Nice residents' committee that is greening the neighbourhood. Small park a 1-minute walk away, supermarket and nice shops. Close to the city. I'm really very satisfied. There's only one downside for me and that is that there are quite a few people who don't clean up their dog poop.

About Melatensteeg 5, Zutphen
The asking price of €395,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €436,462 and the median of €415,000. Given the 147 m² floor area, the price per m² works out at about €2,687, which is significantly lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,535 per m². This suggests the price is keen, especially considering the historic character and central location.
The home has energy label C. That is a decent score for a 16th-century house, it means the home is reasonably efficient, though not as good as a modern build. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme. In the neighbourhood, 36.4% of homes have label C, and another 36.4% have a lower label, so this home is about average for the area.
The house was built in 1500, so it is over 500 years old. That means it has thick walls, low ceilings in places, and likely a lot of character. The energy label C suggests it has been modernised to some extent. Most homes in the neighbourhood (92.9%) were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area.
Laarstraat en omgeving is a very urban, historic neighbourhood with a strong community feel. One resident describes it as "lovely" with a mix of young and old, and an active residents' committee that is greening the area. There is a small park a minute away, and the city centre is close. The only downside mentioned is that some people do not clean up after their dogs.
The train station is 1.0 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach other cities without needing a car.
