A studio with history in the Makassarpleinbuurt
This studio on the Eerste Ceramstraat sits in the Makassarpleinbuurt, a corner of the Indische Buurt-Oost in Amsterdam. The area has a lived-in, social feel, and the home itself dates from 1912, so it carries the character of a pre-war Amsterdam building. At €250,000, the asking price is keen compared with the neighbourhood average, which is a notable point for anyone looking at studios in Amsterdam.
Inside the home
The studio is spread over one floor and includes two rooms, one bedroom and one bathroom. The agent lists the living area at 42 m², while the BAG registration records 38 m². There is a rear garden of 35 m² that is described as low-maintenance. The energy label is G, the least efficient label, so heating costs are likely to be on the higher side.
