A classic Amsterdam apartment with a story
This 1930s apartment on Mr. P.N. Arntzeniusweg 69 sits in Middenmeer-Noord, a quiet residential pocket of Amsterdam where the streets are lined with mature trees and the pace feels a little slower than the city centre. The asking price of €925,000 is on the high side compared with the average for apartments in Amsterdam, so it is a home that asks for a considered look rather than a snap decision.
The home itself
According to the agent, this is a five-room apartment spread over three floors, with four bedrooms and one bathroom. The living area is listed at 118 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 105 m². There is a balcony, and the property is on the first floor. The home is owned subject to ground rent (erfpacht). The energy label is C, which means the energy costs will sit somewhere in the middle of the scale.
