Bakkumstraat 2
Werengouw-Midden, Amsterdam
AreaA quiet spot in Amsterdam-Noord
This apartment sits in Werengouw-Midden, a residential pocket of Amsterdam-Noord where the streets are lined with post-war housing and the pace feels a little slower than the city centre. The home itself is a 1964 apartment with three bedrooms and a single floor, and it is offered for €350,000. That asking price sits 21% below the average asking price of €444,493 in the neighbourhood, which puts it on the low side compared with other apartments in Amsterdam.
Inside the apartment
The apartment has four rooms in total, including three bedrooms, spread over one floor. The living area is 78 square metres according to both the BAG registration and the agent's listing, and the volume is 250 cubic metres. The energy label is B, which is an efficient label, so heating costs should be manageable. The home was built in 1964, a fact that tells you about its age but not about its condition.
