NeighbourhoodThis 1735 townhouse on Boerensteeg sits in the heart of the old city, with the buzz of the Red Light District and Dam Square just a few minutes' walk away.

The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, about a ten-minute walk. Trams and buses are plentiful in the city centre, and many attractions are within walking distance.
Sold homes in the neighbourhood took an average of 44 days to sell, which is fairly standard for Amsterdam. With only 22 homes currently for sale, supply is limited, but this property's high price may mean a longer marketing period.
