Neighborhood Guide
Where the Museumplein is now located, there were still farms 200 years ago. To create more living space, the construction of the Museum Quarter began here at the beginning of the last century. With the arrival of the Van Gogh Museum, Gerrit Rietveld's contemporary architecture also came to Museumplein. The range of restaurants, cafes, and shops is as eclectic as the architectural styles and fits perfectly with the international allure of the neighborhood. Haute couture connoisseurs and shoppers can visit P.C. Hooftstraat at fashion houses like Burberry, Ba&sh, and Isabel Marant Étoile. The nice thing about this neighborhood is that the Center, De Pijp, and Amsterdam Zuid – with the Vondelpark – are all within walking distance.

Designvision
The houses in Zuid were built during the construction period from 1880 to 1910 and form an important part of the expansion of Amsterdam. The thriving economy made Amsterdam a sought-after city to live in. During this period, culture and art also became increasingly important for the well-being of the residents. It is no coincidence that the construction of the Rijksmuseum and the Concertgebouw were significant developments for Zuid. In most houses, the wealth of this period is still visible, for example, through detailed woodwork, high ceilings, beautiful bay windows, and large gardens. Van Breestraat 189 was renovated to a very high standard in 2012, thanks to expert guidance and clever design. Some distinguishing features include the height of the basement and the spacious landing. The house is equipped with a tasteful wooden floor, full insulation, perfect balance ventilation, ample hot water supply, and luxurious sanitary facilities.
Living and cooking
The living floor offers a cozy sitting area at the front with a beautifully designed gas fireplace and space for a large dining table. The dining table is a central feature of the space, forming the connection between the semi-open kitchen and the bright conservatory. The kitchen is tastefully designed with a marble countertop and wooden cabinets.
Sleeping and bathing
The spacious master bedroom has an optimal layout with a large walk-in closet featuring custom-made cabinets and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, double sink, and toilet. At the front, there are two charming bedrooms, and there is an additional bathroom on the landing. In the basement, there are two large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom equipped with a shower and sink. Both bathrooms are tastefully designed with natural stone.
The outdoor space
The large south-facing garden is very sunny and beautifully designed. The old pear tree, landscaped borders, and vegetation provide a green balance and a botanical character throughout the year.
