Homes across the Netherlands

• 206 m² living
• 681 m² plot
• 4 beds
• 7 rooms
• B energy

Detached house on the Stevinstraat with 681 m² of ground — a garden that is genuinely a garden, on a plot that is nearly unheard of this close to the sea. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, 206 m² of living space, and a double garage. Built in 1985 and comprehensively renovated in the 2010s; the label is B, which for a detached house of this age means the cavity walls and the roof have both been done properly. The garden is mature — established trees, a lawn that has been there long enough to survive children, and a terrace off the back that gets sun until the evening. Room to extend at the side subject to permission.

A 1945 block that has worn better than most of its neighbours along the Straatweg. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, 62 m², balcony at the back, and a living room that takes the afternoon light. No energy label has been registered for this apartment; the seller is arranging one.

Wittevrouwen is the sort of neighbourhood where people stay — the same butcher, the same bakery, and a canal at the end of the street. Under offer. 63 m² in a 1935 building, two bedrooms, one bathroom, balcony at the back, label C. It went within a fortnight, which is normal here.

Top floor on the Berlijnplein, with a roof terrace, three bedrooms and a parking space in the building. 140 m², two bathrooms, lift straight into the apartment.

• 67 m²
• 2 beds
• 3 rooms
• C energy

A few minutes from the ferry, with the IJ at the end of the road and a balcony at the back. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, 67 m². The building dates from 1938 and has the proportions to match — proper hallway, decent ceiling height, windows that are taller than they need to be. Label C. The VvE is active and the reserve fund is healthy, which is not something you can say of every building along here.
