About Tweede Jan Steenstraat 56-1, Amsterdam
The asking price is 41% below the neighbourhood average of €969,500, which makes it a keen entry point. However, the apartment is 65 m², while the average sold home in the area is 84 m², so the price per m² (€8,846) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €11,620 per m². Given the energy label D and the older building (1889), the price reflects the home's character and condition.
Energy label D means the home is less efficient than modern standards. In the Hemonybuurt, over 57% of homes for sale have label A or better, so this one will likely have higher heating costs. The building dates from 1889, typical for the area (92% of homes were built before 1945), so you can expect traditional construction with single glazing in some parts.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride.
