About Vreewijkstraat 3, Leiden
The asking price is €1,275,000, which is 110% above the neighbourhood average of €606,143. However, this home is also 90% larger than the average (211 m² vs 111 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,042, compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,125. So you are paying a premium for size and character, but it is in line with the market for such a property.
The energy label is C. This means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but is not as efficient as modern builds. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.

The plot size is 144 m², but the listing does not specify whether this includes a garden. Given that it is a terraced house from 1903, it is likely there is some outdoor space, but the exact layout is not stated.
