About van der Helststraat 3, Leeuwarden
The asking price is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €321,038, and also below the median of €267,500. Terraced houses in Leeuwarden typically sell for around €3,614 per m², which would put this home at roughly €343,000 based on size alone. So the price looks keen, especially given the pre-war character and the location next to a park.
The energy label is D. That is fairly typical for a house built in 1931, most homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower (57%). A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. You can expect to spend more on gas and electricity compared to a label A or B property.
Leeuwarden station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach other cities in Friesland and beyond.
There are several schools within walking distance. The nearest primary school is IKC Johan Willem Friso at 336 m, and Basisschool De Princenhof is at 468 m. For secondary education, Gomarus College (420 m) and Christelijk Gymnasium Beyers Naudé (434 m) are both about a five-minute walk.
Very convenient. Albert Heijn is 523 m away (a couple of streets), Lidl is 628 m, and there is an AH to go at 775 m. For a bigger shop, Jumbo is 829 m. All are within a ten-minute walk.
The plot is 96 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden. Given that it is a terraced house from 1931, it is common to have a small back garden, but you would need to check the floor plan or ask the agent for confirmation.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 95 m² over three floors, it likely has at least three rooms, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to view the property or request details from the agent.
