Swammerdamstraat 38D

A spacious apartment in a classic Amsterdam street

This apartment on Swammerdamstraat sits in a lively part of the city, where the 19th-century architecture meets modern energy efficiency. At 116 m², it is significantly larger than the average apartment in the neighbourhood, and with an A energy label it is unusually efficient for a building from 1885. The asking price of €1,150,000 is 52% above the neighbourhood average of €757,524, so it is on the high side, but the size and label are exceptional. For context, apartments in Amsterdam vary widely in price and condition.
