Cornelis Schuytbuurt · 1071 ZW Amsterdam
A grand apartment on Van Breestraat
This spacious apartment on Van Breestraat 142H sits in the heart of Amsterdam's Museumkwartier, a stone's throw from the Concertgebouw and the chic shops of the Cornelis Schuytbuurt. Built in 1901, the home spans a generous 225 square metres according to the BAG registration, while the agent listed it at 224 square metres. With a last known asking price of €2,995,000, that worked out to €13,371 per square metre based on the agent's figures. Compared with the average asking price of €2,819,459 for apartments in Amsterdam, this home sat on the high side, though the median price in the neighbourhood was €2,150,000. This home has not been online since 24 August 2026.
Inside the home
The apartment has eight rooms, including five bedrooms, spread over multiple floors. The energy label was A, which was an efficient label, so heating costs should be relatively modest. The home was built in 1901, a fact that speaks to its classic Amsterdam architecture. The agent did not mention a garden, balcony, or garage, so outdoor space was likely limited to the surrounding streets and nearby Vondelpark.

How many rooms and bedrooms does this apartment have?

What was the energy label and what did it mean for heating costs?
The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This meant the home was likely to have relatively low energy costs compared to homes with lower labels. However, the exact heating costs depend on your usage and energy prices. The agent did not mention specific insulation features, so the label was based on the official registration.
What is the WOZ value of this property?
The WOZ value was not stated in the available data for this listing. The WOZ value was the municipal valuation used for property taxes, and it was not always included in listings. Without this figure, it was not possible to compare the asking price to the official valuation or to comment on the historical development of the value.

According to area-level data, the noise levels from road traffic are 47 dB Lden, from rail traffic 32 dB Lden, and from air traffic 47 dB Lden.

These are area-level indications, not measurements taken at the property itself.
What is the foundation risk for this home?
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, based on area-level data. This is because the building was constructed before 1970, and in this postcode area, 100% of properties were built before that year. This is an indication at the area level, not an inspection of this specific home, so it does not confirm any actual foundation issues.
