FOR SALE BY OWNER – A CHARACTERFUL, GRAND BOURGEOIS APARTMENT ON RÁDAY STREET – EXCEPTIONAL QUIET NEAR KÁLVIN SQUARE

Located in one of Budapest's most liveable and sought-after neighbourhoods, on the section of Ráday Street closest to Kálvin Square, this 86 sqm, 2nd floor apartment with a living room and 2 bedrooms is now available for purchase.

The apartment is situated in a truly imposing building, recently and fully restored – down to the last stucco detail – with a lift, recognised as one of the most beautiful buildings in the district and featured on the official homepage of the 9th district of Budapest. The community of residents is cultivated and the building is well-maintained.

ABOUT THE APARTMENT

The property offers a true grand bourgeois feel: 4.1-metre ceiling height, spacious, airy rooms and a well-thought-out layout create a truly unique sense of space. Most of the apartment has been freshly renovated and painted – the new owner can move in immediately.

One of its most outstanding features is its remarkably rare quiet. There is only one direct neighbour, and not on the bedroom side, while in the other three directions the adjacent apartments have been unoccupied for years, held as investment properties. The windows face a quiet, one-way side street with no through traffic. There is simply no other location in the city that offers this level of tranquillity at such a major transport hub.

The apartment is exceptionally bright: on the courtyard-gallery side, direct sunlight fills the rooms almost all day long, while the other side remains equally bright thanks to the large open space beyond – offering a beautiful, open view of the Kálvin Square church and the neighbourhood's stunning iconic buildings, including the historic insurance palace.

The layout is practical and highly liveable: a spacious entrance hall with ample storage, a separate WC, and a freshly renovated bathroom with a bathtub and double sink. The heart of the apartment is the impressively large open-plan living and kitchen area – with a bar counter that is perfect for entertaining guests. One bedroom opens from the living room and features its own private en-suite shower room, a built-in wardrobe and space for a washing machine. The other bedroom, accessible from the entrance hall, currently serves as a home office and guest room, also with generous storage.

ABOUT THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

The location is truly unmatched. Everything that exists in a European capital – restaurants, cafés, bars, cultural venues, shopping, healthcare, public transport – is reachable within a 5-minute walk, and we're not talking about tourist traps.

Kálvin Square is just around the corner, with direct access to two metro lines; Astoria is an 8-minute walk. A nursery is 1 block away, a kindergarten 2 blocks away, 3 pharmacies within 5 minutes, a gym 50 metres away, and Corvin Plaza just 8 minutes on foot. For those arriving by car, 3 underground car parks are also accessible within a 5-minute walk.

WHY IS THIS APARTMENT SPECIAL?

This property is a rare combination of grand bourgeois elegance, modern technical quality and an exceptionally quiet yet absolutely central location. An apartment with comparable attributes is practically nowhere to be found on the market.
