or Rent: Refined Elegance in Budapest’s Iconic Bauhaus Landmark – The “Dugattyús Ház”

Available for long-term rent is a fully renovated, exquisitely furnished apartment located in one of Hungary’s most celebrated Bauhaus buildings — the legendary Dugattyús Ház on Margit Boulevard.

Designed by the renowned architect duo Béla Hofstätter and Ferenc Domány in the 1930s, this architectural masterpiece stands as a symbol of modernist design in Hungary. The building’s name — “Dugattyús Ház,” meaning “Piston House” — derives from its distinctive circular glass stairwell and elevator shaft, a hallmark of Bauhaus ingenuity. Throughout its history, the building has been home to prominent artists, writers, and intellectuals, and continues to attract a discerning, creative community.

Located on the 5th floor, this 64 m² apartment has been fully refurbished with exceptional attention to detail and aesthetic harmony. Upon entry, a spacious hallway lined with custom-built wardrobes leads to the open-plan living area, where a premium Bosch-equipped American-style kitchen and dining space open onto a charming east-facing balcony, ideal for enjoying the morning sun.

An elegantly designed glass wall separates the bedroom area, which flows into a sleek and modern bathroom with a walk-in shower. Additional features include a separate guest WC and a compact utility/laundry room.

Every element of the apartment has been curated with style and comfort in mind:
• Sound- and heat-insulated windows with automated shutters
• Air conditioning
• Designer furniture and tasteful décor throughout
• Quiet, bright spaces with a serene ambiance

Monthly rent: €1,400 + common costs + utilities (based on consumption)
