Amstelveldbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis monumental 17th-century townhouse on the Herengracht is a rare find. With 266 m² of living space spread over multiple floors, it offers generous proportions that are hard to come by in the city centre. The asking price of €2,475,000 is 58% above the neighbourhood average of €1,567,375, which reflects the exceptional size and location, it's on the high side, but in line with what similar terraced houses in Amsterdam command.
The Amstelveldbuurt is a quiet pocket within the lively Grachtengordel-Zuid. With 1,580 residents, it feels intimate yet central. Most homes are apartments, but this street is known for its grand canal houses. The area has a high proportion of single-person households (600) and few families with children (125), giving it a calm, adult atmosphere. No resident reviews are available, so the neighbourhood character is drawn from the data: a mix of historic charm and urban convenience.
Your daily routine here is effortlessly urban. For bread and groceries, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, with an AH to go just around the corner for a quick coffee or sandwich. Two primary schools are a couple of streets away: IKC De Kleine Reus and ASVO. For secondary education, Barlaeus Gymnasium is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam provides all the city's amenities, from museums to parks, within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Cremers Makelaardij.

About Herengracht 538, Amsterdam
The asking price is 58% above the neighbourhood average of €1,567,375, but the home is also 58% larger than the average (266 m² vs 168 m²). Given the monumental status, canal location, and size, the price is on the high side but reflects the unique qualities of this property.
The energy label is D. For a 17th-century canal house, this is typical, the thick walls and large windows make insulation challenging. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but the character and location compensate.
The listing does not specify the number of bedrooms.
The plot size is 90 m², but the listing does not mention a garden or terrace. Many canal houses have a small courtyard at the rear, but this is not confirmed in the data.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short tram ride. The area is well served by trams and buses for connections across Amsterdam.
The Amstelveldbuurt has relatively few families with children (125 out of 1,580 residents). It is more popular with singles and couples. However, there are good primary schools within walking distance, so it is possible for families, but the area is not particularly family-oriented.
