Kattenburg, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Olifantswerf sits in the heart of Amsterdam's Kattenburg, a historic island neighbourhood with a salty, village-like feel. At 38 m² it's compact, but the real surprise is the enormous plot of 2,160 m², a rare find in the city. The asking price of €350,000 is keen compared to other terraced houses in Amsterdam, especially given the outdoor space.
Kattenburg is one of the Oostelijke Eilanden, a quiet pocket of Amsterdam where the streets are narrow and the water is never far away. The neighbourhood has 1,695 residents, mostly singles and couples, with a mix of ages. It's a place where people know each other, one resident says: "It feels like a small village in the big city." The neighbourhood Kattenburg has a strong sense of community, with local shops and cafes within easy reach.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar is a couple of streets away. The Alan Turingschool is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a capital, but here on the island you're a little removed from the tourist crowds.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Linger OG Makelaars en Taxateurs and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.
