A grand apartment on the leafy Plantage Muidergracht
This is a home with presence. At 305 m², it was more than twice the size of the average apartment in the neighbourhood, and the last known asking price of €2,960,000 reflected that, it sat 120% above the local average of €1,347,500. Built in 1922 and carrying a B energy label, it is a spacious piece of Amsterdam's heritage. For context, the supply of apartments in Amsterdam is limited, and this one stands out for its sheer scale. This home has not been online since 8 July 2026.
