About Blauwburgwal 18H, Amsterdam
The asking price is €3,950,000, which is 166% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€1,483,960). It is the most expensive of the 25 homes currently for sale in Langestraat e.o.

Heating and electricity costs will be very low compared to older buildings in the area, 97% of homes in the neighbourhood were built before 1945 and typically have much lower labels. Only 5% of homes for sale in the neighbourhood have an A+ label or better, so this is a rare find.
