Neighborhood Guide
De Pijp was developed in the late 19th century to provide housing for newcomers who had moved to the capital in search of work. Freddy Heineken’s father opened the Heineken Brewery here in 1886. The first workers’ homes, around Albert Cuypstraat, were built quickly and inexpensively. Later, toward the Diamantbuurt, Berlage added houses in the Amsterdam School style. It is said that the neighborhood owes its name to the long, straight streets, which are shaped like a pipe.
The Albert Cuyp Market and Sarphati Park define the dynamic character of De Pijp. Artists and writers such as Piet Mondrian, Carel Willink, and Gerard Reve lived and worked here. The lively, diverse population brought many cafés and eateries to the neighborhood. Today, the neighborhood is known as Amsterdam’s Latin Quarter, still bustling with diverse restaurants such as Brut de Mer, Yamazato, Arles, the Peruvian NAZKA, and authentic bistros like Petit Caron.

Parkview
A striking building from 1887, designated as a municipal monument, it stands out for its unique character. Rarely do I come across properties that residences multiple residences without being divided up. This makes this building extra special and offers new opportunities for the future owner.
The current owners have chosen to sell the property as a whole, which could offer significant opportunities for the future buyer.
I find the location truly exceptional: tucked away in the heart of the block and on the serene side of Sarphatipark, the property offers a rare unobstructed view and an oasis of calm in the hustle and bustle of the city. This explains why the owners have enjoyed living there for many years.
Another notable advantage is the ability to open the doors and windows to the balconies and garden, creating a sense of freedom in the middle of the bustling city.

The building
The building at Sarphatipark 43-45 consists of a double townhouse on Sarphatipark, designed by P. Dijk and P.C. Breek. The houses were built in an eclectic architectural style and are mirror images of each other. This mirror effect has been partially lost due to renovations to the facade over the years. For example, the windows on the ground floor (in 2015) were designed differently. In 2011, renovation work had to be carried out on the facade of building 45 (new window frames and brickwork). The construction drawing still states that the buildings would be located on Jan Steenstraat, but this section was named after the park.
Over the years, there have been various renovations. In 1922, for example, the basement was renovated and improvements were made to the foundations of the extension. In 1996, the ground floor was restored to its former state as a "double ground floor" by rejoining the ground floor and the first floor, creating a spacious ground floor apartment with a garden. The numbering was changed in 1997, and the building archives show that a permit was granted for a Roof terrace at that time. In 1998, the extension on the first floor was renovated and the terrace was constructed. In 2011, the ground floor extension was renovated and re-founded.
The upper apartments are in simple condition and the large attic floor was built as a mansard roof and has a generous height of 4.50 meters. The foundation of the right-hand wall with Number was secured during the addition of a basement to this building.
Living and cooking
A living space, with plenty of natural light and a beautiful view of a park, is one of the many special features of this stylishly renovated ground floor apartment. By merging the former side room with the living room on the first floor, a beautiful sight line has been created at the front with French doors to a sunny balcony. The black marble mantelpiece, an original element, contains a built-in fireplace that provides an atmospheric ambiance in the evening. This fireplace was completely renovated in 1998 (including the flue). The ceilings are decorated with moldings that complement the space, while the herringbone floor with trim and the carefully chosen colors make the room a pleasant place to stay.
The kitchen and dining area are located on the terrace at the rear. The kitchen, arranged in an L-shape and finished in matte dark green, offers a spacious worktop and extensive cupboard space, including wall cabinets. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality appliances, including a Quooker, two ovens from Bosch, an electric hob with a gas wok burner, an extractor hood and of course a dishwasher. Extra storage space has been created in the extension with custom-made cabinets and there are two doors that give access to the terrace.
The dining area seamlessly connects to the kitchen and offers enough space for a large dining table suitable for six to eight people, ideal for long dinners with friends.
Sleeping and bathing
The bedrooms are located on the ground floor, three in total. At the front is a spacious and attractive room with a beautiful view of the park. The windows at the front still have their original shutters. The black marble fireplace with gas fire and ornate ceiling give this room a special atmosphere. The gas fire was installed in 1998 after renovation of the black marble fireplace and flue. This room currently serves as a study. Centrally located is a spacious and luxuriously appointed bathroom that is Immediately to the master bedroom via en-suite closets. This bathroom is equipped with a large sink with double faucet and a double walk-in shower with a bench. The bathroom has both a hallway door and en-suite access to the master bedroom. The floor is covered with Portuguese tiles and there is underfloor heating.
The master bedroom is located at the quiet and cool rear of the house with French doors to the garden and has an adjoining dressing room. The third bedroom, located in the extension, provides access to the terrace and the Rear garden.
The garden and balconies
The outdoor spaces of this home are a special addition and offer a suitable place to sit at any time of the day. The garden, with a Floor area almost 40 m², has a garden shed that is divided into a bicycle storage area and a storage area for garden equipment. Thanks to its northwestern location, the garden enjoys sunlight in the morning and at the end of the afternoon.
On the living floor, there is a terrace across the entire width of the facade. Its proximity to the kitchen makes this terrace a popular place to sit, especially on warm days, when it offers a pleasant place to relax.
The balcony at the front enjoys sunshine almost all day long and offers the most beautiful view. The balcony overlooks the Sarphat monument with fountains, beautifully situated on a small hill in the park.
Cellar
The cellar has a Floor area approximately 10 m² and features a sturdy workbench and a section designated as a wine cellar. The height is approximately 1.80 meters under the beams and 2.00 meters between the beams.
De Pijp is located south of the Amsterdam city center, wedged between the Museum Quarter and the Amstel. De Pijp was created on the basis of expansion plans from 1866 (J.G. van Niftrik), from 1875 by J. Kalff and from 1917 by H.P. Berlage. Up to the Lutmastraat, the structure is largely based on the former ditch division, from that street onwards the construction follows the systematic principles of H.P. Berlage. The southern Pijp is therefore part of the larger Plan Zuid from 1917. Both in the nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century part, construction consists predominantly of closed building blocks. The park named after Sarphati opened in 1886 and was designed by Mr. Van Niftrik.
The somewhat erratic course of the building lines, the accidental squares at road intersections, the variation in heights and design that give each street its own identity and the strong interaction between street and construction (possibly due to the presence of the many shop fronts) ensure the special character of the Pijp. The almost perfectly preserved character of the Pijp as a nineteenth-century working-class neighborhood, in which all social classes are represented and which shows a strong mix of functions, was the reason for the National Service for Cultural Heritage to select the Pijp as part of Amsterdam South for designation as a protected cityscape.
