A floating home in the heart of Amsterdam
This is a houseboat, a free-standing water home, moored on the Binnenkant in the Scheepvaarthuisbuurt, right in the centre of Amsterdam. The listing does not state the property type, floor area or year of construction, so those details are missing. The asking price of €399,000 is 54% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €866,750, which the agent's own figures show. For context, homes in Amsterdam vary widely in price, but this one sits at the lower end of the local market.
Inside the water home
The agent describes this as a water home with three rooms, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, all on a single floor. The living area is listed at 44 m², which is 56% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 100 m². The volume is 174 m³. Heating is via a combi boiler, and the ownership situation is noted as "see deed". The property is positioned on a busy road, on the water, with an open and free view. The energy label is E, which is not an efficient label, so expect higher energy costs.
