Key Details
Listing Description
This beautifully preserved classical apartment represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a distinguished piece of Budapest’s architectural heritage, offering timeless elegance and refined city living.
From the moment you step inside, the property exudes a sense of historic grandeur. Original features from the late 19th century have been remarkably well preserved, including ornate stucco detailing, handcrafted wooden wall panelling, original doors and windows, and elegant chandeliers that recall the grace and sophistication of a bygone era. A comprehensive renovation was completed in 2009, during which all essential systems—electrical wiring, water and gas pipes—were fully upgraded, and new radiators installed, ensuring modern comfort while respecting the apartment’s classical character. The property offers a generous internal area of 145 square metres and is further enhanced by a rare 3 square metre balcony overlooking Wesselényi utca, the only one of its kind within this classical building.
The apartment benefits from impressive ceiling heights and a traditional layout, with seven large street-facing windows that flood the interiors with natural light. Currently arranged with two bedrooms, a spacious living area, two bathrooms and a separate kitchen, the layout offers excellent flexibility. The kitchen may easily be converted into a third bedroom, guest room or private study. With two separate entrances, the property is also ideally suited to mixed residential and professional use, or as a prestigious office space, appealing to those seeking both functionality and distinction.
The balcony provides a rare outdoor haven above Wesselényi utca, while most of the windows face the quieter Izabella utca, ensuring a peaceful living environment despite the central location. The building itself is well maintained and features an attractive, green inner courtyard, offering a calm retreat from the energy of the city.
Set in a highly accessible area of Budapest, the property enjoys excellent public transport connections. The city centre can be reached in approximately 13 minutes, while the iconic City Park is just 7 minutes away. Whether intended as an elegant private residence or an impressive professional address, this apartment presents a rare opportunity to combine historic charm, modern comfort and outstanding urban convenience.
Amenities
District VII. - Lively Bohemian
Over the past decade, the VII. District’s Jewish Quarter has evolved from a bohemian mess of streets to a pulsing, contemporary hotspot filled with new-wave coffee shops, boutique cocktail bars and restaurants, music venues and design stores. The ruin-pubs and Jewish culture that popularized the District are now couched between new neighbors incorporating Western European trends. But there’s no doubt that the colorful chaos of Szimpla Kert, Jewish gastro-gardens of Kőleves, Mazel Tov and co., and other bohemian mainstays still dictate the District’s flavor. Despite its rapid evolution, the Seventh is big, filled with charming local spots, if you can pry yourself away from the lively Gozsdu Courtyard or Király Street. And with the highest population density of all the Districts, it offers 24-hour energy and life to residents and visitors.
The
Vibe
This eclectic and artsy area of town is by far the most popular for tourists, and home to the best parties in town.
What to Expect
Music, parties, a vibrant dining out culture, clothing and design boutiques are packed side-by-side along the main streets in the District. Nighttime diversions aren’t hard to find, as there’s guaranteed to be a party, show or happening almost any night of the week. This is the District to be for those looking to get the most out of Budapest’s nightlife.
What Not to Expect
The as-of-now mainstream ruin pubs and gentrification of the VII. District has squeezed out less profit-oriented underground or alternative venues to the neighboring VIII. and IX. Districts. The VII. also sees a transient bustle of tourists and short-term visitors and the flashier genre of establishments that accompany them, making the heart of the District an unfavorable location for families.
