About Van Oldenbarneveldtstraat 34, Amsterdam
The asking price is 161% above the neighbourhood average of €669,882, making it the most expensive of the 38 homes currently for sale in Frederik Hendrikbuurt-Noord. However, the home is also much larger than average: 180 m² versus 67 m². The price per square metre works out at about €9,722, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €10,423 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting a lot of space for your money.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, but not top-of-the-line. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have label C, while 19% have A and 28% have B. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's worth checking the exact insulation and heating system details with the agent.
Residents describe it as child-friendly and friendly. One says: 'almost everyone is friendly and it is also child-friendly.' There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer (a five-minute walk) and Theo Thijssenschool Amsterdam. The neighbourhood has a park just around the corner, and the streets are safe. About 10% of households have children, so it's a mixed area with a family-friendly feel.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. The high address density (11,718 per km²) means you're in a very urban area with plenty of transport links.
The house was built in 1884, so it's a classic Amsterdam townhouse with period features. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done, but you should check the condition of the roof, windows, and heating system. Most homes in the neighbourhood (97.5%) were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area.
You have an Albert Heijn just around the corner (219 m) and a Dirk a couple of streets away (268 m). For dining, there's a restaurant just around the corner (200 m). A library is a five-minute walk (500 m), and a park or garden is just around the corner (200 m). Daily errands are very convenient.
