A classic Amsterdam apartment on the Plantage Muidergracht
This apartment sits on the leafy Plantage Muidergracht, a canal street in the heart of Amsterdam's cultural quarter. The area is known for its grand 19th-century architecture, the Artis zoo and the Wertheimpark, all within easy reach. The home itself dates from 1836, giving it a genuine piece of the city's history. At €850,000, the asking price sat 37% below the neighbourhood average last known asking price of €1,348,611, which put it on the low side for the area. This listing did not state the energy label, so that information was missing from the agent's description. For context, apartments in Amsterdam across the municipality vary widely in price and condition. This home has not been online since 15 September 2026.
The home itself
The apartment offers a living area of 94 square metres according to the BAG registration. The agent had not published details about the layout, number of bedrooms or bathrooms, so the internal arrangement remained unknown. What is clear is that this is a pre-war building, constructed in 1836, which places it among the older properties in the neighbourhood. Without further specifications from the agent, the full picture of the interior was not available.
