Utrechtsebuurt-Zuid, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 17th-century townhouse on the Prinsengracht is a rare find: a spacious family home with 198 m² of living space and a 135 m² plot, right on one of Amsterdam's most famous canals. The asking price of €3,100,000 is well above the neighbourhood average, reflecting its exceptional size and location. For context, it's the most expensive of the 11 homes currently for sale in the area, and the price per square metre is in line with the premium you'd expect for a property of this stature. Compare with other terraced houses in Amsterdam to see how it stacks up.
The neighbourhood Utrechtsebuurt-Zuid is a peaceful pocket of the city centre, where the Amstel and the canals create a village-like atmosphere. Based on two reviews, residents are very positive: one says, "Nice neighbourhood, kind people, shops nearby, parks, schools, very satisfied." Another adds, "Very nice quiet neighbourhood, friendly neighbours, helping each other, looking out for each other when needed." The area has a mix of ages, with many one-person households and a good number of families. It's a place where people know each other and look out for one another.
Your morning bread run is a two-minute walk to the Albert Heijn on the corner, and there's a SPAR just a few streets away. For school runs, ASVO primary school is on your doorstep, and IKC De Kleine Reus is a five-minute walk. The municipality Amsterdam offers everything you'd expect from a world-class city, yet this stretch of the Prinsengracht feels remarkably calm. A park or public garden is just around the corner, and restaurants are practically next door.

Very good · 2 residents
My husband and I have lived on the Amstel for 26 years; we came from the Noorderdwarsstraat near the Prinsengracht. We are very satisfied here. Living here is very cosy, very kind neighbours, helpful, now a bit less due to age. Extremely nice living, very dear people around us and we have good contact with them, and if my husband and I can help someone, I do that too, someone who lost his wife. Good contact with the neighbours, a small word can do people good. The building is and has been well maintained, is kept clean, etc., nothing but praise for the building and the handymen on the Prinsengracht... corner Prinsengracht, we have lived here for about 30 years now. And we are satisfied people and hope to be allowed to stay here for a long time. Fam Fakkeldij, Amstel 298 G

About Prinsengracht 848, Amsterdam
The asking price is 133% above the neighbourhood average of €1,330,273, making it the most expensive of the 11 homes currently for sale in Utrechtsebuurt-Zuid. However, with 198 m² of living space (115% larger than the average 92 m² in the area) and a 135 m² plot on the Prinsengracht, the price reflects its exceptional size and prime canal-side location. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and a historic address.
The home has energy label C. This is a middling score for a 17th-century building, meaning it has some insulation but not the highest efficiency.
