Sopron, Szent György utca For sale brick apartment

Property & Location

Welcome to one of the most architecturally distinctive properties in Sopron’s historic Old Town.

This exclusive 78 m² corner apartment is situated in the renowned Vasalóház (“Flatiron House”), directly above the historic Forum. Built after the reopening of the border, the building combines the advantages of solid modern construction with the unique charm and atmosphere of Sopron’s protected historic centre.

Access to the building is through a beautiful historic arched gateway in a quiet, traffic-restricted Old Town street. The well-maintained staircase is architecturally attractive and leads directly past the historically significant Scarbantia archaeological site.

Exceptional Layout & Natural Light

The highlight of the apartment is its spacious, light-filled living room, positioned at the distinctive “flatiron tip” of the building and offering an unobstructed view towards Sopron’s Town Hall (Városháza).

Thanks to the building’s unusual architecture, the rooms on either side of the living room face different historic streets. High windows throughout provide excellent natural light from several directions, creating an exceptional sense of openness in the very heart of the traffic-restricted Old Town.

From the generous entrance hall, a separate door leads into the living room. The apartment comprises three rooms in total: a living room and two separate, bright bedrooms.

The WC is conveniently separate from the bathroom. An additional practical feature is the apartment’s own utility/storage room, which also accommodates the modern washing machine.

Kitchen & Dining Area

The separate kitchen benefits from a large exterior window and is equipped with functional electrical appliances, including a ceramic hob. There is ample space for a comfortable breakfast or dining corner.

A charming serving hatch connects the kitchen directly with the dining area of the living room.

Furnishings & Original Biedermeier Ensemble

The apartment is offered fully furnished.

A particular highlight of the dining area is an authentic, high-quality Biedermeier ensemble comprising dining table, chairs and display cabinet. Perfectly suited to the historic character of the property, the furniture will remain in the apartment.

This makes the property ready for immediate occupation without the inconvenience of transporting large pieces of furniture through the staircase.

Heating & Energy

Heating and hot water are provided independently by the apartment’s own reliable gas heating system, with the boiler located in the hallway.

Operating costs are therefore based directly on the owner’s actual individual consumption.

The legally required Hungarian Energy Performance Certificate will be arranged by the seller and provided by the time the purchase agreement is signed.

Condition

The property is in a very well-maintained, solid condition and has seen exceptionally little use. Throughout approximately 30 years of ownership, it has been used as a holiday residence for only a few months each year, resulting in very limited wear to floors and doors.

The bathroom, with bathtub and large exterior window, is fully functional but reflects the style of its period.

Prior to moving in, only normal cosmetic improvements would be recommended, such as repairing a few minor age-related settlement cracks in the plaster and applying a fresh coat of paint.

A Rare Feature: Private Garage & Access to the Historic Centre

A particularly valuable and unusual feature in Sopron’s traffic-restricted Old Town is the apartment’s own lockable garage box within the building’s protected underground garage.

The garage is registered as separate private property in the Land Registry. Ownership therefore provides the respective owner with the legal basis to obtain an official access permit from the City of Sopron for the traffic-restricted zone.

The current permit is issued for a limited period and is linked to the property; it can be renewed by the new owner through the municipal authorities, subject only to the applicable modest administrative fees.

This provides something exceptionally difficult to find in the historic centre: secure private parking combined with authorised vehicle access to the Old Town.

Purchase Price & Sale

Purchase price: HUF 99,000,000 (approx. €250,000), negotiable

The price includes the apartment, private garage and furnishings, including the authentic Biedermeier ensemble, as one complete, ready-to-use package.

Due to the unique nature of the property and the access rights associated with the garage, the property is offered only as a complete package.

The final settlement will be made in Hungarian forints at the applicable exchange rate through the Hungarian lawyer handling the transaction.

Private sale – no estate agent’s commission.
