Budapest V. kerület, Kálmán Imre utca 21. For sale brick apartment

An upmarket urban experience in the heart of the city centre – Kálmán Imre Street
In Lipótváros, a sought-after, elegant part of Budapest’s 5th district, on Kálmán Imre Street, I am offering for sale a 95 m² flat with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms, situated on the ground floor of a classic turn-of-the-century block of flats with a lift. The flat’s windows overlook the quieter Vadász Street, where there are no trams, ensuring a more peaceful environment despite its city-centre location.

The layout of the home is also particularly practical: it comprises a spacious living room with an open-plan kitchen, two separate bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate utility room. What makes this home truly special is the rare ceiling height of nearly 4 metres, which lends the rooms a spacious, airy feel. The modern, minimalist interior design harmonises beautifully with the character of the classic turn-of-the-century building.

FLAT
The centrepiece of the flat is the impressive living room, measuring nearly 40 m², which, together with the open-plan kitchen and dining area, forms a single, spacious and practical living space. The ceiling height of nearly 4 metres and the large windows further emphasise the spaciousness of the room, whilst the modern, minimalist design creates an elegant and cosy atmosphere.
The layout of the flat is practical and well thought-out: in addition to the spacious living-kitchen-dining area, there are two separate bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate utility room. The living area, measuring nearly 40 m², provides ample space for a comfortable living and dining area, whilst the open-plan kitchen flows naturally into the central living space.

According to the title deed, the flat’s floor area is 95 m², but the actual measured floor area is 103.35 m². The difference arises because the area that previously functioned as a courtyard has since been built over, meaning the flat’s current usable floor area is larger than the size stated on the title deed.

The windows of the living room and one of the bedrooms overlook Vadász Street, where there are no trams, so despite the city-centre location, they provide a pleasantly peaceful environment. The other bedroom overlooks the inner courtyard, meaning the flat’s relaxation area is also oriented towards a quieter, more intimate side.
The property underwent a complete refurbishment four years ago. Alongside the modern, sophisticated interior design, the flat has retained its classic character: the original windows, doors and interior doors remain part of the property. Heating is provided by a gas-fired circulation system with radiators, whilst underfloor heating in the two bathrooms ensures comfort.

BUILDING
Built in 1895, this eclectic corner house was designed by Zsigmond Sziklai and is now a locally designated listed building. Situated on the corner of Kálmán Imre Street and Vadász Street, the building is a distinctive example of turn-of-the-century upper-middle-class architecture, which, with its classical details, still retains the atmosphere of its era.
The building underwent a complete refurbishment around 10 years ago; however, further works are scheduled to begin in September 2026: the interior spaces of the block of flats, the entrance and the courtyard will also be refurbished.

The service charge is 54,910 Ft per month, which includes, amongst other things, the refuse collection fee, cleaning, and the repayment instalments on the loan taken out by the block of flats.

A PRESTIGIOUS LOCATION
Kálmán Imre Street is one of the well-known, elegant streets of Lipótváros, in Budapest’s 5th district, where classic Pest architecture, city-centre living and excellent infrastructure come together.
One of the area’s greatest advantages is that almost the entire city centre can be explored on foot. The Parliament Building, Szabadság Square, St Stephen’s Basilica, the banks of the Danube, as well as the city centre’s numerous restaurants, cafés, shops and cultural institutions are all within a short walk.
Transport links are also excellent: the area is served by several metro, tram, bus and trolleybus routes, making other parts of Budapest easily accessible.

Why move here?
- an elegant, central location in District V
- a classic turn-of-the-century apartment block setting
- 4-metre-high ceilings and a unique sense of space
- 95 m² flat with 3 bedrooms
- 2 bathrooms
- Block of flats with a lift
- Excellent public transport links
- The Parliament, Szabadság Square, the Basilica and the banks of the Danube are just a few minutes’ walk away
- Restaurants, cafés, shops and amenities in the immediate vicinity
- Ideal for both a home and as an investment
It is a rare find in the city centre when a flat of nearly 100 square metres can truly offer a generous sense of space. The 4-metre ceiling height, the character of the classic building and the modern, minimalist interior design come together to create a unique harmony.

If you’re looking for a city centre home where you don’t have to compromise between location and a sense of space, it’s well worth viewing this flat in person. I look forward to your call!
