A classic Amsterdam apartment with water views
This first-floor apartment sits along the Admiralengracht, a quiet road with open views over the water. Built in 1925, it is part of the Van Brakelkwartier, a pocket of Amsterdam with a distinctly local feel. The asking price of €595,000 is on the high side compared with the average for apartments in Amsterdam, though the home's position and features help explain the premium.

There is a roof terrace, and the home comes with double glazing, HR glazing and floor insulation, plus a central heating boiler. The ground lease is perpetual and has been bought off, so there is no annual ground rent to pay. The monthly homeowners' association contribution is €139.
