A grand canal-side home in the heart of Amsterdam
This is a rare one: a monumental ground-floor and upper apartment on the Korte Prinsengracht, in the middle of the lively Haarlemmerbuurt-Oost. Built in 1873, it carries the history of the old city centre in its walls, yet sits right where the neighbourhood buzzes with shops, cafés and daily life. With a price of €1,600,000, the asking price is in line with the market, according to the precomputed comparison with the neighbourhood average. For context, that average asking price in the area is €807,263, and this home is one of the apartments in Amsterdam currently on offer.
A home with serious volume
The agent describes this as a beneden + bovenwoning, a combination of ground-floor and upper floors, spanning six levels in total. It has eight rooms, five bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a volume of 679 cubic metres. There is a rear garden, a balcony and a roof terrace, and the property is on the ground floor. It is freehold, so you own the land as well as the building, and it is heated by a central heating boiler. The living area is a point of difference: the BAG registration records 67 square metres, while the agent lists 216 square metres. The asking price per square metre, based on the agent's figure, is €7,407.
