About Spaarne 28, Haarlem
The asking price is 31% above the neighbourhood average of €803,520, but this is a monumental canal house in the historic centre. The average price per m² in Bakenes is €7,204, and this home works out at about €8,607 per m², a premium for its location and character.
The home has energy label A, which is very efficient for a house built in 1780. In the neighbourhood, only 38% of homes have label A, so this one stands out. You can expect relatively low heating costs.
The plot is 50 m², but the listing does not mention a garden. The house is on the Spaarne canal, so outdoor space is likely limited to a small courtyard or no garden at all.
Bakenes has few families with children (190 out of 1,275 households) and many singles. It's a historic, urban area with plenty of restaurants and culture, but not a typical family suburb. Schools are nearby, though.
Haarlem train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From there you can reach Amsterdam in 15 minutes and Schiphol in 20.
Yes, Dekamarkt and Albert Heijn are both within 500 metres, and Jumbo is 530 metres away. You can walk to any of them in about five minutes.
