Neighborhood Guide
De Pijp was developed at the end of the 19th century to provide housing for newcomers who came to the capital for work. Freddy Heineken's father opened the Heineken Brewery here in 1886. The first workers' houses, around the Albert Cuypstraat, were built quickly and cheaply. Later, towards the Diamantbuurt, houses were added by Berlage in the Amsterdam School style. It is said that the neighborhood got its name from the long straight streets, which resemble the shape of a pipe. The Albert Cuyp Market and the Sarphatipark define the dynamism of De Pijp. Artists and writers such as Piet Mondriaan, Carel Willink, and Gerard Reve lived and worked here. The lively, mixed population brought many cafes and eateries to the neighborhood. Close to the Van der Helstplein with its large plane trees and cozy cafes and restaurants like Glouglou, where you feel like you're in France. Today, the neighborhood is known as the Quartier Latin of Amsterdam, with still much dynamism and various restaurants such as Brut de Mer, Le Restaurant, Yamazato, Arles, the Peruvian NAZKA, and authentic bistros like Petit Caron.

Hendrik Willem Mesdag
We oversee the sale of a diverse range of properties as an agency. As a real estate agent, this variety is very challenging and contributes to the overall picture you get of the housing market in Amsterdam. Like many others, I started my residence and career in De Pijp. The neighborhood’s dynamics are very pleasant, and the amenities are good. On streets such as Ceintuurbaan, Scheldestraat, Ferdinand Bolstraat, and Van Woustraat, you’ll find a variety of shops, specialty stores, and delicatessens. Additionally, there are several good restaurants and cozy cafes in the area. The famous Albert Cuyp Market is “the place to be” for fresh products. Hendrik Willem Mesdag is a famous painter, his most spectacular work is Panorama Mesdag.
The apartment is a creatively laid out upstairs dwelling of approximately 74 square meters situated on municipal leasehold land. The property features a spacious and open floor plan, with the possibility of creating a third room. What I find unique about the space is its width with an adjoining balcony facing west. It offers a high-quality outdoor space, perfect for enjoying the setting sun. If you’re further interested, I invite you to come by. Of course, I’ll then provide you with more information about the apartment. Perhaps see you soon.

Architecture
The complex was built in 1922 under the direction of the architectural firm Gulden & Geldmaker, in collaboration with architect Izaäk Blomhert. Little is known about architect Blomhert, as he mainly worked in the background. He gained some recognition shortly after World War II with the renovation of the military hospital on Sarphatistraat in Amsterdam. Later, he primarily designed homes in Slotermeer and Osdorp. The home designs by Gulden & Geldmaker were modest, almost massive, symmetrical, and virtually without decoration. The complex was built in the stylized Amsterdam School style. Here, everything revolves around the external form, which is sturdy and massive. Characteristic are the ladder windows: windows divided by a large number of bars. These are very recognizable and easily found in the frames. The complex was built on behalf of the Amsterdam Zuid housing association. Characteristic of the social rental homes in this area are the large and beautifully landscaped gardens.
Living and cooking
Via the wide staircase, the apartment on the third floor can be reached. The hallway provides access to, among other things, the spacious living room. Due to the large windows with French doors leading to the balcony, and the height and width of the apartment, the living room is a very pleasant space to stay in. The TV room is cozy and provides extra natural daylight entry into the living room. The through-character and the east-west orientation provide an ultimate experience to the property. The semi-open kitchen was completely renovated in 2022 and equipped with various built-in appliances, such as a fridge/freezer combination, combination oven/microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, 4-burner gas hob, and extractor hood. The storage room can be reached via a fixed staircase in the living room or the communal staircase. The storage room is approximately 11 m² in size, fully insulated, and equipped with heating and a large skylight with a mezzanine of 5 m².

The second bedroom is accessible through the TV room.

The balcony
The balcony adjoins the living room and is accessible via multiple French doors. It measures approximately 6 square meters and faces southwest. Here, you can enjoy the sun, the beautiful view of the garden, and the stunning architecture of the building block in peace. Due to its width of almost 6.8 meters, the balcony serves multiple purposes, such as providing a comfortable seating area, space for a dinner for two with a fold-out table, and a storage area.
