A classic Amsterdam apartment on the Lauriergracht
This apartment sits on the Lauriergracht, one of those classic Amsterdam canals that feels like a proper piece of the city. With 66 square metres of living space, it is a compact but well-proportioned home. The building dates from 1882, so there is plenty of character in the bones. The energy label is A, which is the most efficient rating you can get. At €3,750 per month, the rent was on the high side compared with the average for apartments in Amsterdam, but the canal setting and the label A go some way to explaining that. This home has not been online since 10 November 2026.
