AreaA waterside apartment on Westerdokseiland

At €825,000, the asking price is on the high side compared to the average for apartments in Amsterdam, which reflects the prime waterside setting.

Built in 2008, the home carries an energy label C, which means moderate energy costs can be expected. The property is offered for sale through Sjuleke's Makelaardij.
