About P.C. Hooftlaan 29, Driehuis Nh
The asking price of €700,000 is in line with what other mid-terrace houses in Velsen are listed for. Given the 127 m² floor area, 171 m² plot, and energy label B, it reflects the market. There are no recent sale figures for this specific street, but the price appears reasonable for a well-maintained 1930s home in a sought-after village setting.
Driehuis-Dorp is a quiet, green village neighbourhood within Velsen. It has a low crime rate (50 incidents total) and a high proportion of owner-occupied homes (94%). The population includes many families and older residents, giving it a settled, community feel. Amenities like shops and schools are within walking distance, and the nearby woods and dunes offer plenty of outdoor space.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes commuting to Haarlem, Amsterdam, or the coast feasible without a car. The station is not named in the listing, but the distance is manageable for daily travel.
There are several schools within a short distance. Gymnasium Felisenum (secondary) is about 900 m away, and Sint Franciscus-School (primary) is roughly 1.5 km. Other options include Vellesan College and Antoniusschool, all within 2 km. The area is well-served for education.
The home has energy label B, which is good for a 1931 house. It means the property is reasonably energy-efficient, with likely double glazing and decent insulation. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older, uninsulated homes, though exact bills depend on usage.
The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, but the plot size of 171 m² suggests there is outdoor space. For a mid-terrace house of this era, a back garden is typical, but you would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
