Period Elegance and Modern Comfort in the Heart of Hódmezővásárhely

An exceptionally atmospheric and meticulously restored period townhouse is offered for sale in the centre of Hódmezővásárhely, close to the railway station, the main bus terminal and the tram-train stop providing a direct connection to Szeged.

Built around 1910, the property has been renovated by its current owner with exceptional care and sensitivity. The restoration preserves the refined atmosphere and gracious lifestyle of the early 20th century while ensuring that the house meets modern expectations of comfort in every respect.

The ground floor offers approximately 200 square metres of living space, comprising five generously proportioned principal rooms, two smaller rooms, a kitchen, a pantry and two bathrooms.

Among the property’s most remarkable original features are its six-metre-long, sixty-centimetre-wide wooden floorboards and its beautifully crafted doors and windows, retained together with their original frames. The library, drawing room, dining room and two bedrooms all evoke the elegance and cultivated ambience of early 20th-century urban life.

Behind these carefully preserved period details lies thoroughly modern engineering. The house features two contemporary bathrooms fitted with high-quality systems, underfloor heating and a fully equipped kitchen. Two condensing boilers provide heating and hot water, while the ceiling structure, windows and external doors are insulated.

One of the property’s most distinctive features is its completely dry basement, extending to approximately 160 square metres. Originally built as a warehouse for the property’s first owner, a wholesale wine and spirits merchant, it has since been transformed into a characterful brick-lined social and entertaining space. Its generous dimensions and distinctive atmosphere offer numerous possibilities, including private gatherings, artistic or cultural events, the display of a collection, or use as a private club, leisure or recreational area.

The house is complemented by an intimate garden planted with an unusual and carefully selected variety of plants, creating a peaceful and secluded setting for relaxation. Parking is not available within the garden itself; however, residents have the use of a dedicated parking space directly in front of the house.

This property will be particularly appealing to those wishing to exchange the intensity of life in Budapest or another major international city for a more balanced, human-scale way of living, without relinquishing the conveniences, services and cultural opportunities of urban life.

Hódmezővásárhely’s restaurants, cafés and patisseries, cinema, healthcare facilities, shops and everyday services are all within easy reach. The lakes and thermal baths of the surrounding area provide further opportunities for leisure and relaxation. Szeged, situated just twenty kilometres away, is easily accessible by both car and tram-train, placing its theatres, cinemas, shopping centres, university and lively cultural scene within convenient reach.

This is a home for those who appreciate architectural heritage, refined cultural traditions, gastronomy and a peaceful way of life, while remaining unwilling to compromise on modern comfort or excellent transport connections.

The carefully selected period furnishings may also be purchased by separate agreement.
