Confuciusbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Thomas à Kempisstraat sits in the quiet, green Confuciusbuurt in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. With 87 m² of living space and a generous 280 m² plot, it offers room to spread out, a rarity in the city.

At €775,000, it's the priciest of the six homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and sits 21% above the average asking price, so it's on the high side compared to the local market. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Amsterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its plot size.
