Bloemstraat 140A

The asking price is €2,900,000, which is 279% above the average asking price in the Bloemgrachtbuurt (€765,625). However, this apartment is also 177% larger than the neighbourhood average of 86 m². The average price per m² in the area is €8,922, so for 238 m² that would come to roughly €2,123,000, but this home is in a prime street and has a B energy label. Whether it is fair depends on how you value the size and location.

The energy label is B, which is good for a pre-war building. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have label B and another 40% have label C, so this is above average. A B label means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, though you can expect moderate heating costs. The exact consumption will depend on usage and the specific installations.

The floor area is 238 m², which is very spacious for the Jordaan. The neighbourhood average is just 86 m², so this is nearly three times the typical size. The year of construction is 1905, so the layout is likely to have high ceilings and large windows, typical of the period.

The Bloemgrachtbuurt is the historic heart of the Jordaan, with a very high address density of over 12,000 per km². It is a mix of residents and tourists, with many singles (43% of households). Most homes date from before 1945. The area has a lively street scene with many independent shops, restaurants and cafés. The nearest park is a ten-minute walk away.

The nearest train station is 2.3 km away. That is about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride. Amsterdam Central Station is the main hub, but there are also stops like Amsterdam Sloterdijk within cycling distance.

There are several primary schools within walking distance: Basisschool Dr. Rijk Kramer at 334 m, Theo Thijssenschool at 394 m, and 14e Montessorischool De Jordaan at 435 m. For secondary education, Het Cartesius Lyceum is about 495 m away. The area has a total of 215 schools within 5 km.

The nearest supermarket is Dirk at 282 m, just around the corner. Albert Heijn has two branches within a five-minute walk (348 m and 426 m), and there is an Ekoplaza organic supermarket at 523 m. For daily groceries, you are well covered.

The average price per m² for apartments in Amsterdam varies by neighbourhood, but in the Bloemgrachtbuurt it is €8,922. This apartment works out at €12,185 per m², which is above the neighbourhood average. However, the size is exceptional, 238 m² is rare in the city centre. The median asking price in the neighbourhood is €622,500, so this is clearly a premium property.
