A classic Amsterdam apartment with a modern heart
This apartment on the Pieter de Hoochstraat sits in the Johannes Vermeerbuurt, a pocket of the Museumkwartier that feels calm and green despite its central address. Built in 1913, the building has the classic pre-war character you expect in this part of Amsterdam, but the home itself has been brought up to date with a heat pump and double glazing. At €735,000, the asking price is keen compared with the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which comes in at €2,777,941. For context, that average is based on a much larger stock of homes, and this apartment is one of the smaller options in the area. If you are looking at apartments in Amsterdam, this one stands out for its combination of old bones and new installations.
Inside the home
Step inside and you find a three-room apartment with two bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over a single floor on the second storey. The living area measures 64 square metres, according to both the BAG registration and the agent's listing, so there is no discrepancy to puzzle over. The home comes with a balcony, which is a welcome extra in this part of the city. It is offered in full ownership, so there is no ground lease to factor in. The insulation consists of double glazing and wall insulation, and the heating runs on a heat pump, which is a modern touch for a building from 1913. The monthly homeowners' association contribution is €191.04.

The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This means the home is likely to have relatively low energy costs compared with less efficient labels.

What is the foundation risk for this address?
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, according to public data from KCAF. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home.

The indication does not mean there is a problem with this particular apartment, but it is something to be aware of as an area characteristic.
