A classic Amsterdam apartment with a keen price
This apartment on Sumatrastraat sits in the Timorpleinbuurt-Zuid neighbourhood, part of the Indische Buurt-West district in Amsterdam. Built in 1902, it carries an energy label A, which is an efficient label. The last known asking price of €450,000 was keen compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €514,140, according to the precomputed comparison. For context, the neighbourhood at the time had 43 homes for sale, with an average asking price of €514,140 and a median of €475,000.

The home itself
The agent listed this as a 4-room apartment with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The living area was 55 m² according to both the BAG registration and the agent listing. The home was built in 1902, a fact that speaks to its age but not its condition. The energy label was A, which was an efficient label, so expect relatively modest energy costs. The listing did not mention any garden, balcony, or garage, so the outdoor space was limited to what the building offered.
