Vijzelstraatbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis monumental 17th-century townhouse on the Keizersgracht is a rare find. With 330 m² of living space spread over multiple floors, it offers a sense of space that is hard to match in the city centre. The asking price of €3,250,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €847,500, but that reflects the exceptional size and historic character. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam at this level are few and far between.
The Vijzelstraatbuurt is part of the Grachtengordel-Zuid, a UNESCO World Heritage area. It's a lively, central neighbourhood with a mix of residents: many singles and couples, and a fair number of older residents too. The streets are busy, but the canals bring a certain calm. One resident says: "It's wonderful to live here, everything is on your doorstep, yet it never feels too hectic." Another notes: "The neighbours are friendly and the area feels safe." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood Vijzelstraatbuurt is clearly appreciated for its convenience and atmosphere.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner. There's also an Ekoplaza a couple of streets away for organic groceries. For families, IKC De Kleine Reus is a five-minute walk, and Barlaeus Gymnasium is just around the corner for secondary education. The municipality Amsterdam offers a wealth of cultural venues, restaurants and parks within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Heeren Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.
