A pre-war apartment in De Wetbuurt
Tucked into the leafy eastern edge of Amsterdam, this apartment on Celsiusstraat 7 sits in De Wetbuurt, a pocket of the Frankendael district that feels a world away from the city's hustle. The area is quiet, with a park just around the corner and a real sense of community among the residents. Built in 1912, the home carried the character of its era, and with a last known asking price of €1,195,000, it was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average. For context, that price sat 56% above the average asking price of €764,700 in the area, a figure worth weighing against the home's size. If you were looking at apartments in Amsterdam, this one stood out for its price per square metre. This home has not been online since 1 November 2026.
The home itself
According to the BAG registration, the living area is 49 m², which is 42% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 84 m². The energy label was D, so expect moderate energy costs. The listing did not state the number of rooms, bedrooms, or bathrooms, nor did it mention any garden, balcony, or garage. The year of construction, 1912, was a fact of the building's history, but the listing gave no further details about the interior layout or installations.

Schools are within reach too, including Montessorischool de Amstel for primary education and Daltonschool Spinoza20first for secondary. Public transport is well served: the Spaklerweg metro stop is a five-minute walk with lines 51, 53, 54, 78, and N85, and Amsterdam Amstel train station is a ten-minute walk. All of this sits within the municipality of Amsterdam. The address-level risk data indicates a medium foundation risk, based on the area's peat soil and the fact that the building dates from 1912. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home. Noise from road, rail, and air traffic is below the relevant standards, and the climate data shows an elevated risk of pluvial flooding during heavy rain, with a medium flood risk currently and by 2050. Heat stress is currently low but could become medium by 2050. These are all area-level indications from public data sources.
