Bloemgracht 197H
Bloemgrachtbuurt, Amsterdam
AreaA classic Amsterdam apartment on the Bloemgracht
This apartment sits on one of the prettiest canals in the Jordaan, with a sunny aspect and a quiet feel despite being in the thick of things. At 113 m² it's a generous size for the area, and with an A energy label it's unusually efficient for a 1875 building. The last known asking price of €1,125,000 was 47% above the neighbourhood average of €765,625, but you're paying for a larger-than-average floor area and a top-tier label, it was on the high side, but in line with what this spec commands. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely, and this one stands out for its combination of space and efficiency. This home has not been online since 13 August 2026.

Comparable homes in the Bloemgrachtbuurt sell for a median of €622,500, but those were typically smaller and less efficient.

The area is densely built up with mostly apartments, so it's lively and convenient.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is very efficient for a home built in 1875. This meant heating costs should be relatively low compared to older properties in the neighbourhood, where 80% were built before 1945 and many had lower labels. The label is based on the actual insulation and installations of this specific apartment.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle.

The Bloemgrachtbuurt has a high proportion of single-person households (about 43%) and few families with children (around 13%). The average household size is 1.5, and the area is popular with professionals and couples who value the central location and canal-side living.

At the time there were 8 apartments for sale in the Bloemgrachtbuurt, with prices ranging from €285,000 to €1,595,000. The average floor area of those listings was 86 m², so this apartment at 113 m² was larger than most. In the past year, 47 apartments sold, with an average selling time of 25 days.
