Outdoor space
The garden faces south and forms a direct extension of the living space. Through double patio doors, you step onto a carefully constructed wooden terrace, made of wide planks and set lower than the living room floor. The terrace offers space for a seating area or dining table and is sheltered among greenery.
The garden continues with a paved section and a lower-lying planting bed with permanent greenery. The boundary is lined with mature hedges, providing a private and secluded feel. At the rear is a detached wooden shed for storage or bicycles.
Neighborhood
De Pijp was developed at the end of the 19th century to provide housing for newcomers moving to the capital for work. Freddy Heineken’s father opened the Heineken brewery here in 1886. The first workers’ homes around Albert Cuypstraat were built quickly and affordably. Later, towards the Diamantbuurt, houses in the Amsterdam School style, designed by Berlage, were added.
It is said the neighborhood got its name from the long, straight streets that resemble the shape of a pipe. The Albert Cuyp Market and Sarphatipark define the area’s dynamic character. Artists and writers such as Piet Mondriaan, Carel Willink, and Gerard Reve lived and worked here. The vibrant, mixed community brought many cafés and eateries to the neighborhood.
Today, the area is known as Amsterdam’s Quartier Latin, still lively and featuring a variety of restaurants such as Brut de Mer, Le Restaurant, Yamazato, Arles, the Peruvian NAZKA, and authentic bistros like Petit Caron.

STOCADE NO. 6
Van Helt Stocadestraat 6-H is a ground-floor apartment with a surprisingly spacious layout. Not only are the dimensions generous, but the direct connection between the living space and the garden creates a wonderfully cohesive whole. Large windows allow plenty of natural light to flood in — remarkable for a home on the ground floor. Located in the Nieuwe Pijp, the area is peaceful yet exceptionally central. The Maasstraat, Ferdinand Bolstraat and the surrounding neighbourhoods offer a wide range of amenities, restaurants and coffee spots. The neighbourhood has a contemporary and personal feel, with low-rise buildings and front gardens that contribute to a relaxed streetscape. A place where tranquillity and vibrancy blend effortlessly.
This ground-floor apartment on Van Helt Stocadestraat is part of a characteristic 1930s complex in the Nieuwe Pijp. The façade is built from brick, with white-painted window frames and distinctive front doors — a recognizable architectural style that has been consistently applied throughout the street. In 2018, a rear extension was added, significantly increasing the living space and creating a direct connection to the garden. The full-width rear façade with French doors allows abundant daylight to enter and offers a clear view of the greenery. Inside, the layout is open, with a logical flow between the entrance, living room and dining area. The bedrooms are located on either side of the apartment and are accessible only through the main living space. This creates a clear separation between the living and sleeping areas. The layout is efficient, the proportions are well balanced, and the home is ready to move into without any modifications.
The living room is located at the rear of the home and connects directly to the garden. Thanks to the glass rear façade and a skylight in the extension, the space enjoys ample natural light. The layout is open and well-organised, with a logical arrangement of the seating, dining and kitchen areas within one continuous space. The kitchen is set up in a straight-line configuration and is centrally positioned within the home. It features white cabinets, a dark countertop and stainless steel appliances, including a wide stove with oven. The kitchen is both functional and well-placed between the dining area and the living space. The living area is efficiently designed and offers plenty of flexibility for various layout options.
The home features two bedrooms. The larger room is situated at the front and overlooks the quiet street. It is generously sized and includes a characteristic mantelpiece. The second, smaller bedroom is located at the rear and offers direct access to the garden. This room is well-suited as a home office, guest room or child’s bedroom. The bathroom is centrally located and equipped with a bathtub, double washbasin and mirrored cabinet. The finishes are neutral, with large wall tiles and a dark natural stone floor. The toilet is separate and accessible from the hallway.
The garden faces south and forms a direct extension of the living space. Through double French doors, you step out onto a carefully designed wooden terrace, made of wide planks and set slightly lower than the living room. The terrace offers space for a seating area or dining table and is sheltered by surrounding greenery. The garden continues with a paved section and a lower-lying planting bed with perennial plants. The boundary is lined with mature hedges, providing a secluded character and ample privacy. At the back of the garden, there is a detached wooden shed with space for storage or bicycles. The southern orientation ensures sunlight for much of the day.
