Interior-designed apartment with 81 sqm of usable living space for sale in the heart of the Palace District

For sale in Budapest’s 8th district, at Bródy Sándor utca 17, a unique ground-floor apartment facing the inner courtyard, located in the heart of the Palace District.

Asking price: HUF 138 million.

The apartment offers 81 sqm of well-designed usable living space, made possible by the 4.30-metre ceiling height and two fully usable mezzanine levels. This is not a typical compromise mezzanine solution: the mezzanines are an integral part of everyday living and are currently used as two fully functional home office workspaces.

The lower level is 55 sqm. In addition, there is an 11.8 sqm standing-height mezzanine above the living room, a 5 sqm storage room opening from it, and a 9.3 sqm standing-height mezzanine above the bedroom. Altogether, the apartment provides 81 sqm of practical, functionally designed living space.

The property underwent a full technical renovation in 2016, including the heating system, electrical wiring and the apartment’s core technical infrastructure. In 2021, the apartment was further redesigned by Design Studio NESS.

As a result, the apartment became a highly thoughtful, practical and characterful home, where the exceptional ceiling height is not only a visual feature but a real functional advantage.

Layout

The main areas of the apartment are:

* entrance hall and kitchen in one open space,
* dining area and living room,
* bedroom and walk-in wardrobe in one room,
* bathroom with toilet,
* 11.8 sqm standing-height mezzanine above the living room,
* 5 sqm storage room opening from the living room mezzanine,
* 9.3 sqm standing-height mezzanine above the bedroom.

The layout is carefully designed: the living/dining area, kitchen, bedroom/wardrobe and the two mezzanine levels form clearly separated functional zones. As a result, the apartment feels significantly more spacious and versatile than its base floor area would suggest.

Built-in furniture and appliances

The purchase price includes the built-in furniture, including:

* kitchen furniture and kitchen island,
* bathroom furniture,
* washing machine cabinet,
* staircase furniture with built-in storage,
* media unit,
* storage shelving system.

The purchase price also includes the kitchen appliances: oven, microwave, refrigerator, hob, dishwasher, as well as the washing machine.

Technical details and running costs

Heating and hot water are provided by a gas combi boiler. There is also underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom, making these areas especially comfortable. The windows are plastic-framed. There is no air conditioning, but due to the ground-floor location, the apartment remains pleasantly cool in summer.

The current common cost is HUF 14,160/month.

Average monthly utilities are approximately HUF 30,000–40,000, including internet, water, sewage, electricity and the flat-rate gas payment. The current flat-rate gas payment is HUF 9,800/month.

The property is officially registered as an apartment. It is currently encumbered by a bank loan, which will be settled as part of the sale process.

Courtyard and surroundings

The apartment faces the inner courtyard, which is especially pleasant by inner-city standards: it is green, not fully paved, with trees and ivy. This is a rare feature in central Budapest and adds greatly to the apartment’s calm, homely atmosphere.

Bródy Sándor Street is one of the best parts of the Palace District. Cafés, restaurants, cultural institutions, universities, shops and services are all within a few minutes’ walk. The neighbourhood is central, characterful and highly liveable at the same time.

This is not an average ground-floor apartment: thanks to the 4.30-metre ceiling height, the two standing-height mezzanines, the additional storage space, the 81 sqm of usable living space and the interior design by Design Studio NESS, the apartment is practical, unique and exceptionally liveable.
