Vijzelstraatbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 17th-century townhouse on the Keizersgracht is a rare find. With 170 m² of living space spread over several floors, it offers generous proportions for the centre of Amsterdam. The asking price of €2,295,000 is 171% above the neighbourhood average of €847,500, but that reflects the exceptional size and location, comparable terraced houses in Amsterdam with this kind of space are scarce. The price is on the high side, even for this sought-after stretch of canal.

Homes in this neighbourhood sell relatively quickly. In the past period, sold properties were on the market for an average of 19 days. That suggests a fast-moving market, so if you're interested, it's worth being prepared to move swiftly.
The home has energy label D. This is common for a 17th-century canal house, as many have single glazing and limited insulation.
