Czaar Peterbuurt, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1885 terraced house on Tweede Leeghwaterstraat sits on a 250 m² plot, which is rare in this part of Amsterdam. With 101 m² of living space, it is 46% larger than the neighbourhood average. The price of €1,275,000 is 121% above the average asking price in the Czaar Peterbuurt, so it is on the high side, but then, a house with this much outdoor space in the city centre is exceptional. For context, terraced houses in Amsterdam are scarce, and this one stands out.
The Czaar Peterbuurt is one of Amsterdam's most charming 19th-century neighbourhoods, with tree-lined streets and a village-like feel. It is part of the Oostelijke Eilanden/Kadijken district, known for its mix of historic architecture and modern city life. The area has a very high address density (7,119 addresses per km²), so it is bustling, but the streets around the house are relatively quiet. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures show a young, dynamic population: most residents are between 25 and 45, and households are small (average 1.6 people). For more on the area, see the Czaar Peterbuurt neighbourhood.
For your morning bread or a quick dinner, the Vomar supermarket is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a five-minute walk away. There are also several Albert Heijn stores within easy reach. Families will appreciate that Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden is a couple of streets away, and there are several other primary schools within a ten-minute walk. Secondary education is available at Montessori Lyceum Pax, about 574 m away. The neighbourhood also has a GP practice and a park or public garden for a breath of fresh air. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Amsterdam.

About Tweede Leeghwaterstraat 5A, Amsterdam
The asking price is 121% above the average asking price in the Czaar Peterbuurt (€576,933). However, this house has a floor area of 101 m², 46% larger than the neighbourhood average of 69 m², and a generous 250 m² plot, which is very unusual in this dense urban area. Comparable sales in the neighbourhood have averaged €486,279, but those are mostly smaller properties. Given the size and the plot, the price is on the high side but reflects the rarity of such a home.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood: 46.7% of homes for sale here have label A+ and 26.7% have label A. An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs. It may be worth investigating insulation and heating upgrades, but the listing does not provide details on the current systems.
The house was built in 1885, making it one of the older properties in the Czaar Peterbuurt, where 47.1% of homes date from before 1945. The listing does not describe the condition, so you would need to view it to assess the state of the original features, wiring, plumbing and roof. An energy label E suggests that some modernisation may be needed.
The Czaar Peterbuurt has a young population, with many residents aged 25-45. Only 245 households have children, so it is not a classic family neighbourhood, but there are several primary schools within walking distance, including Basisschool Oostelijke Eilanden (186 m) and Piet Hein (534 m). The area is lively and urban, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk.
The plot size is 250 m², which is very large for a terraced house in central Amsterdam. However, the listing does not explicitly state whether this includes a garden, terrace or courtyard. You would need to check the property details or view the house to see how the outdoor space is laid out.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 101 m² of floor area spread over multiple floors (typical for a terraced house of this era), it could have two or three bedrooms, but you would need to consult the full listing or visit the property to confirm the layout.
The listing does not mention parking. In the Czaar Peterbuurt, street parking is common but can be limited, and Amsterdam has paid parking in most central areas. You may need to apply for a resident's parking permit. The property does not appear to have a garage or private parking space.
