A classic Amsterdam apartment on the Eerste Van der Helststraat
This apartment for sale sits on the third floor of a building from 1880 in the Gerard Doubuurt, part of the Oude Pijp in Amsterdam. With 3 rooms, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, it covers 81 square metres according to the BAG registration, while the agent lists 84 square metres. The asking price of €750,000 works out at €8,929 per square metre based on the agent's floor area. The property has energy label F, which is the least efficient label, so expect higher energy costs. According to the agent, the home has a sunny terrace balcony and a monthly homeowners' association contribution. This listing does not state the garden, so it is unclear whether there is one. The asking price is 1% above the WOZ value, and the price per square metre sits below the neighbourhood average for homes currently for sale. For context, there are 17 apartments for sale in the neighbourhood, with an average asking price of €771,000 and a median of €650,000. You can compare this with other [apartments in Amsterdam]( /koopwoningen/amsterdam/appartementen/).
