Keizersgracht 138C
Leliegracht en omgeving, Amsterdam
AreaA canal-side classic in the heart of Amsterdam
This apartment sits on the Keizersgracht, one of Amsterdam's most famous canals, in the Leliegracht e.o. neighbourhood. The area is part of the Grachtengordel-West district, a UNESCO-listed canal ring that draws people from all over the world. With a price of €649,000, this home is on the high side compared to the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which is €1,499,321. That figure, however, reflects a market where most homes are much larger, so the price per square metre tells a different story.
