Apartment for Sale directly from Owner – just steps from Oktogon

An apartment with an exceptionally prime location is for sale in Budapest's 6th district, at Szófia utca 7. This 1st-floor, 2-room apartment measures 66 sqm (precisely 70 sqm by laser measurement) and is situated right next to the Grand Boulevard (Nagykörút), yet in a quiet side street.

The Building and Residents:
The building's façade was recently completely renovated in December 2025, which coincided with the full replacement of the building's gas pipelines. As a result, it has not only become one of the most beautiful buildings in Szófia utca, but its size also makes it highly liveable: it comprises only 24 residential units with a quiet, cultured community.

Neighborhood and Transport:
In terms of public transport, the location is unbeatable: the stop for the 4-6 tram line—Budapest's most frequent and main transit line, operating 24/7—is just a 2-minute walk away, while Oktogon and Andrássy út are within a 3-minute walk. Everything needed for daily life is available in the immediate vicinity: a GP’s medical office operates right at the corner of Szófia and Eötvös utca (and the excellently equipped district specialist clinic is only a 4-minute walk). The local district town hall and the "Eötvös10" cultural and community center are also right there. On the same block, you will find the local market hall (currently undergoing renovation), and on the next corner is Hunyadi tér with its beautiful park, playground, sports court, and a charming farmer's market. As an added benefit, this section of the street is being renewed under the "Terézváros2030" urban development program, and the reconstruction of the Grand Boulevard is also scheduled for the near future.

Interior Features and Condition:
The property itself is in good condition, continuously maintained, and ready to move into. A unique and rare feature of this apartment is that its entrance door—the only one in the entire building—is deeply recessed from the main walkway. Since it is located at the very end of the open-air corridor, there is no passing foot traffic. I have turned this private, sheltered alcove into an intimate little terrace with a small table and plants, perfect for coffee or reading, completely hidden from the view of other residents.

The windows and doors were replaced about 4 years ago; the street-front windows are modern, triple-glazed, and offer excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. The apartment is ready to move in after a simple cosmetic painting, but can naturally be further modernized according to your taste.

The spacious street-front rooms boast 4-meter-high ceilings and open both independently and into each other, allowing for a fully circular layout. The kitchen and the pantry are ventilated through a lightwell (air shaft), which, together with the entrance door, provides great cross-ventilation for the entire apartment. A very practical detail is that the bottom base of this lightwell is completely sealed off and inaccessible from elsewhere, making it an ideal, discreet spot to install an outdoor air conditioning unit—something that is otherwise virtually impossible in similar heritage-listed buildings due to the strict ban on street-front installations.

Layout:
Entering through the front door, you arrive in a small entrance hall, from which the bathroom with shower, the separate toilet, and the pantry open. Walking further, you find the kitchen and the dining area. From here, you can access the bedroom, as well as the living room through a small hallway.

Technical Specifications:
Heating and hot water are provided by an individual gas combination boiler (cirkó). The heating pipes and radiators were completely replaced 2 years ago. The kitchen, entrance hall, and part of the bathroom feature a dropped ceiling with integrated LED spotlights, which adds to the ambiance and helps keep heating bills low.

Legal Status and Handover:
The apartment is 1/1 privately owned (sole ownership). The asking price is based on an official property valuation conducted this January. Following an agreement, the property can be handed over relatively quickly, within approximately 1 month.
