About Wittewerf 2, Marken
For a 64 m² end-of-terrace house from 1966 with a D energy label, €250,000 is in line with the market. The price per m² works out to about €3,906, which is typical for a compact home in this part of Waterland. The small plot of 29 m² means there's not much outdoor space, but the location on Marken is unique and quiet.
The neighbourhood is a very small, scattered settlement with only 95 residents. It's extremely quiet, the address density is 278 per km², making it one of the least urbanised areas in the Netherlands. Most households are singles or couples without children, and the population is older, with 40% aged 45-65 and 35% over 65. There are no shops or amenities within the neighbourhood itself, but the village centre of Marken is a short drive away.
The nearest train station is 18.8 km away, so this is not a home for daily commuting by rail. You would need a car or bus to reach a station. The bus network in the area is limited, so a car is almost essential for getting around.
The nearest primary school, De Rietlanden, is just 212 metres away, an easy walk. There are a few other primary schools within 5 km, but secondary education is further: the nearest secondary school is 8.3 km away, so a school run by car or bus is necessary for older children.
The energy label is D, which is average for a home of this age (1966). It means the insulation and heating system are not up to modern standards, so you can expect higher energy bills compared to a more efficient home. Upgrades like double glazing or better insulation could improve the label and reduce costs.
The plot is 29 m², but the listing does not specify a garden. Given the small size, there may be a tiny outdoor space, but it's not confirmed.
