Geschutswerf 33

A monumental home on the Kadijken

This apartment on Geschutswerf 33 sits in one of Amsterdam's most characterful corners. With 390 m² of living space, it is exceptionally spacious, more than four times the average home in the neighbourhood. The asking price of €3,985,000 is the highest of the 17 homes currently for sale in the Kadijken, and 378% above the neighbourhood average. That puts it firmly on the high side, but then this is no ordinary apartment. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary enormously in size and price.

The Kadijken: quiet canals in the city

The Kadijken is a small, sought-after pocket of the Oostelijke Eilanden/Kadijken district. It is densely built and very urban, the address density is 6,590 addresses per km². Most homes are pre-war, and over half of the housing stock was built before 1945. The area is popular with couples and singles; the average household size is just 1.5 people. There are no neighbourhood reviews available for this area, so the picture comes from the statistics: a quiet, well-to-do enclave with a mix of ages. The Kadijken neighbourhood is known for its leafy canals and monumental architecture.

Life on the street: bread, school, groceries

Your daily routine here is a short walk. The nearest supermarket, a SPAR express, is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. For primary schools, the Alan Turingschool is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden is about ten minutes away. Secondary education is also close: the Metis Montessori Lyceum is a five-minute walk. The area is well served by restaurants and cafés, the nearest is on your doorstep. The municipality of Amsterdam offers all the cultural and practical amenities you would expect from a capital city.

At the time of writing

At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Carla van den Brink B.V. and Funda. The energy label is A++, which is excellent, only 12% of homes for sale in the neighbourhood have A+ or better.
