Weteringbuurt, Amsterdam
AreaA studio on a lively Amsterdam street
This studio sits on the Fokke Simonszstraat in the Weteringbuurt, part of the De Weteringschans district in Amsterdam. The building dates from 1878, so it carries the character of a classic Amsterdam street. This listing does not state the energy label. As a result, you cannot tell from the listing how energy-efficient the home is. The asking price of €685,000 is in line with the market, compared with the neighbourhood average asking price. For context, that price sits 40% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €1,140,537, and the living area of 30 m² is 67% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 91 m². If you are looking at [studios in Amsterdam], this one stands out for its price per square metre.
The home itself
The home is a studio, which means the living, sleeping and cooking areas are combined in a single space. The living area is 30 m² according to the BAG registration. The agent has not published further details about the layout, such as the number of rooms or bathrooms, nor about any garden, balcony or garage. The year of construction is 1878, a fact that tells you about the age of the building but nothing about its condition. Without an energy label or additional features in the listing, there is little more to say about the interior.
