About Breughelstraat 8-2, Amsterdam
The asking price of €1,625,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €1,575,000 and the average of €1,658,063. However, the apartment has an energy label A, which is rare in an area where 47% of homes have label D or lower. The 70 m² floor area is 54% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 152 m², so you're paying a premium for the location and efficiency rather than space.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. In the Minervabuurt-Noord, only 23.5% of homes have label A, while 47.1% have label D or lower. This means the apartment will have lower heating costs and a smaller environmental footprint compared to many other homes in the area.
