A studio with history in the Dapperbuurt
This studio on the second floor of a 1887 building sits in the Dapperbuurt-Zuid, a lively pocket of Amsterdam where the streets hum with market life and the smell of fresh produce. With 40 square metres of living space, it is compact but cleverly laid out, and the asking price is €475,000. For context, [studios in Amsterdam]( /koopwoningen/amsterdam/studios/ ) vary widely, but this one stands out for its age and energy label.
Inside the home
The home has three rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom, all on a single floor. The agent describes it as an apartment, and the volume of 141 cubic metres gives it a sense of space beyond the floor area. The energy label is A, which is an efficient label, so heating costs should be relatively modest. The building dates from 1887, a fact that adds character but says nothing about its condition. The living area is 40 square metres according to both the BAG registration and the agent's listing, so there is no discrepancy to worry about.
