Leidsebuurt-Noordwest, Amsterdam
AreaA canal house with history on the Leidsegracht
This terraced house sits on the Leidsegracht, one of Amsterdam's most atmospheric canals, in the Leidsebuurt-Noordwest neighbourhood. The area is very strongly urban, with an address density of over 9,600 per square kilometre, so you are right in the middle of the city's energy. Built in 1840, this is an old canal house with five floors and a volume of 324 cubic metres. The asking price of €900,000 is 55% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €581,000, which makes it the most expensive of the five homes currently for sale here. That puts it on the high side compared with the rest of the market, though it is also the largest home available. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam vary widely in price depending on age and condition.
Inside the home
The agent lists a living area of 98 m², while the BAG registration records 69 m². The plot is 31 m² according to both sources. The home has five rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom spread over five floors. At €9,184 per m² based on the agent's listing, the price per square metre reflects the canal-side location. The energy label is E, which is the second-lowest category, so expect noticeable heating costs in a house of this age. The home dates from 1840, a fact that speaks for itself in terms of character and construction.
