About Herengracht 149H, Amsterdam
The asking price is 51% below the neighbourhood average of €1,466,161, but the apartment is also 38% smaller than the typical home in the area (78 m² vs 126 m²). Given the prime canal location and historic building, the price is keen compared to other listings, though the smaller size means it's not a bargain in absolute terms.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war building. It means the home has some insulation but heating costs will be moderate. In the neighbourhood, only 15% of homes have label A or better, so label C is fairly typical for a 1652 apartment.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short tram ride. Amsterdam Central Station is within easy reach.
Primary school de Burght is 345 m away (a five-minute walk), and the Theo Thijssenschool is 566 m away (about a ten-minute walk). For secondary education, the Vinse School is 650 m away.
