Neighbourhood
The apartment is in Amsterdam South, in the most desirable and quiet part of De Pijp.
Originally developed in the late 19th century to house newcomers seeking work in the city, De Pijp has a rich history. Freddy Heineken’s father opened the Heineken brewery here in 1886. The first working-class homes were built quickly and affordably around the Albert Cuypstraat. Later, Berlage introduced Amsterdam School-style architecture as the neighbourhood expanded toward the Diamantbuurt.
The name "De Pijp" is thought to come from its long, straight streets, resembling a pipe.
De Pijp is known for its vibrant character and its wide range of cafés and eateries — all within walking distance. The Albert Cuyp Market and Sarphatipark bring life and energy to the area.
Artists and writers like Piet Mondriaan, Carel Willink, and Gerard Reve lived and worked here. Its diverse population brought a mix of cultures, visible in its many cafés and eateries.
Today, the neighbourhood is often referred to as Amsterdam’s Quartier Latin, with a mix of dynamic restaurants like Samuel's, Badcuyp, Italian Impero Romano, French Arles or Caron, and various international spots along the Van Woustraat.

City Chique
In one of the most beautiful streets of De Pijp, just a stone’s throw from Sarphatipark and the lively Albert Cuyp Market, lies this exceptionally tasteful and high-quality renovated apartment of approximately 86 m².
Situated on the third floor of a characteristic nineteenth-century building, the residence offers a rare combination of historic charm and contemporary comfort thanks to the renovation in 2024.
The current owners have introduced a sense of luxury with, among other things, the contemporary kitchen, bespoke cabinetry and a design bathroom. This was done while preserving authentic details such as ornamental ceilings, decorative mouldings and panelled doors. With a smart layout, abundant natural light and a south-facing balcony, this apartment forms a serene retreat in the heart of the city.
In short, a unique opportunity for those wishing to live in style and comfort at a prime location in Amsterdam. And not to be forgotten: situated on freehold land.
The apartment on the third floor is part of a well-maintained building from 1880 on the Tweede Jan van der Heijdenstraat, in the highly sought-after style characteristic of this architectural period. On one of the most distinctive streets of De Pijp stands a façade that immediately draws the eye: contrasting blue-grey stucco with white ornamental accents, refined and balanced. Number 92 is an example of late nineteenth-century Amsterdam architecture, rich in detail yet modest in appearance. Inside, this architectural language continues in subtle ornamentation, classical profiles and carefully restored mouldings. The foundation was renewed in 2004.
The living area immediately draws attention with its high ceilings adorned with rich ornamental details. It is generously laid out, with the seating area positioned at the front. This lounge space feels grand and inviting, accentuated by classic mouldings, understated wall lighting, and a mirror above a decorative mantelpiece. Every detail has been carefully selected to contribute to the calm and refined atmosphere. The built-in bookcase along the side wall highlights the precision of the layout while adding practical storage.
The contemporary kitchen forms the spatial anchor of the apartment. Dark wood cabinetry combined with a polished Dekton worktop gives it a warm, sophisticated character. The kitchen island, with an integrated Bora cooktop, invites conversation and connection. The back wall features high-end built-in appliances: a combined oven and microwave, wine climate cabinet, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and a Quooker. From the kitchen, there are clear sightlines to both the living and dining areas. The dining space is bathed in natural light from the balcony, with a large oval table as its centrepiece. The balance between sleek and classic, high-end and homely, is perfectly captured here. Smart lighting is integrated throughout via Philips Hue. A beautiful wood engineered parquet floor runs throughout the entire apartment.
The main bedroom is defined by understated luxury: a bespoke walnut headboard with integrated bedside lighting and power points. The second bedroom has been designed as a dressing room with fully customised wardrobes, creating a space that feels like a boutique dressing area. The herringbone floor continues seamlessly here, while floor-to-ceiling cabinets in the same warm wood as the bedroom are integrated along the walls. The bathroom is finished in warm natural stone tones, with large-format wall and floor tiles that provide a sense of calm and unity. A freestanding bathtub, black taps, a spacious walk-in shower and a natural stone basin set on a walnut cabinet turn this into a true wellness retreat. The details, such as the recessed niche in the shower, the black power outlets and the round mirror, are carefully selected and consistently applied.
Located at the rear of the building and fully oriented to the south, this spacious terrace of approximately 13 m² forms an extension of the interior, a place for a morning coffee or an evening drink with friends. The wooden decked terrace, framed by white balustrades and gracefully planted flower boxes, overlooks a lush inner garden with mature trees. The outdoor space is generous enough to accommodate rattan lounge chairs on one side and a cosy dining area on the other.
Located in Amsterdam Zuid, De Pijp is one of the city’s most desirable and vibrant neighbourhoods. Originally developed in the late nineteenth century, it is home to landmarks such as the Heineken Brewery and the Albert Cuyp Market. Known for its lively atmosphere, cultural history and diverse community, the area combines historic charm with a wealth of cafés, restaurants and eateries — from local favourites to refined international dining. Sarphatipark adds a touch of greenery, while the neighbourhood’s energy has earned it the nickname the Quartier Latin of Amsterdam.
