A bright apartment in the heart of Amsterdam
This apartment sits on the seventh floor of a 2007 building on the Valkenburgerstraat, right in the middle of the city's historic centre. The home is part of the Uilenburg neighbourhood, a small island in the Amstel that feels a world away from the bustle below. With three rooms and a floor area of 92 square metres according to the BAG registration, the agent lists the living space at 99 square metres. The asking price of €780,000 is 3% above the WOZ value, which the neighbourhood market data suggests is in line with the average for apartments in Amsterdam.
Inside the home
The apartment spans two floors and includes three bedrooms and one bathroom. The agent describes the setting as on a busy road and in the centre, which is worth knowing if you're used to quiet. The home has HR glazing and a central heating boiler, and it is offered as full ownership. The energy label is A, which is an efficient label, so you can expect relatively modest energy costs.
