About Pelikaanstraat 15, Hilversum
The asking price of €350,000 is 24% below the average asking price in the Kleine Driftbuurt (€463,000). Given the compact size (88 m²) and the G energy label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a pre-war terraced house that needs attention. Comparable homes in the area have sold for around €417,000 on average, so this is on the lower end.
A G label is the least efficient rating, meaning the home will have high heating costs, especially in winter. The house was built in 1934 and likely has single glazing and poor insulation. You should expect significant energy bills compared to a modern home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, with about 32% of homes rated A or better, so this one is at the opposite end.
The Kleine Driftbuurt has a good mix of families and young adults. Around 700 households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance, like Nassauschool (407 m) and De Wilgetoren (525 m). The area is urban and busy, with a high address density, so it's not a quiet suburban street but offers plenty of amenities nearby.
Hilversum train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is well-served by bus routes, but exact lines are not provided in the listing.
In the Kleine Driftbuurt, sold homes took an average of 29 days to sell. That's relatively quick, suggesting demand is steady. With 31 homes currently for sale and 39 sold recently, the market is active but not overheated.
The plot is 89 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden. The plot size alone does not guarantee outdoor space.
Pre-war homes like this one (built 1934) often have solid construction but may need updates to insulation, wiring, and plumbing. The G energy label indicates poor energy efficiency. The neighbourhood has 73.5% of homes built before 1945, so many similar properties exist. A structural survey is recommended, but that's general advice.
