Budapest I. kerület, Hunyadi János út For sale brick apartment

In Budapest’s District I, on Hunyadi János Street, just below the Buda Castle, a 91 m², 3-room, second-floor, east-facing classic apartment is for sale, featuring a nearly 5 m² balcony that is currently enclosed.

This is not a move-in-ready apartment where you just bring in the sofa and you’re done. Renovation is needed here. In return, you get 91 square meters, 367 cm ceiling height, original herringbone parquet flooring, three well-sized rooms, and a location that can’t be replicated once it’s gone, even with renovation.

THE VIEW – WORTH SEEING ON ITS OWN:

The apartment’s windows face east, towards Castle Hill.
You won’t be looking at the windows of a building opposite, but at trees, green canopies, and above them, the historic buildings of the Castle District.
This is one of Víziváros’s unique features: you’re practically in the city center, yet your windows look out onto greenery.
Thanks to the east-facing orientation, natural light fills the rooms in the mornings, while the large windows and 367 cm ceiling height enhance the spacious feeling.

THE THREE ROOMS – WHERE THERE’S STILL ROOM TO BREATHE:

The 91 m² apartment has three rooms, whose size and high ceilings offer many furnishing options.
Thanks to classic proportions, the spaces are practical, and the nearly 3.7-meter ceiling height creates an airy atmosphere rarely found in typical modern apartments.
The apartment suits a family home or anyone looking for a characterful Buda residence to customize according to their own vision.

THE BALCONY – CURRENTLY ENCLOSED, BUT NOT NECESSARILY FOREVER:

The apartment includes a nearly 5 m² balcony, currently glazed in and usable as a closed space.
This can be practical if you need extra storage or a protected, bright small room.
If you prefer a balcony for morning coffee or outdoor sitting, restoring it to its original open state is also possible, provided the necessary conditions are met.

THE CONDITION – NO SURPRISES HERE:

We’re not offering a freshly painted apartment with new kitchen furniture and trendy lighting, but a well-located classic apartment whose modernization the new owner can carry out according to their own needs.
What is already valuable:
- The original herringbone wood parquet, an essential part of the apartment’s classic character.
- The 367 cm ceiling height.
- The large windows and east-facing orientation.
- The already modernized, insulated windows and doors.
- The three well-sized rooms.
- The unique green view.
So there is a strong foundation to build on.

HEATING – CURRENT SETUP AND OPTIONS:

Heating is currently provided by gas convectors in each room.
While not the most modern system, renovation could allow for upgrading it.
The property has its own chimney, so, if the proper technical and regulatory conditions are met, central heating can be installed.
For those planning a full renovation, this is an opportunity to tailor the heating system to their own needs.

THE BUILDING – WORTH MENTIONING TOO:

According to information, the staircase renovation and installation of an elevator are planned. Their completion and timing are not guaranteed, so the apartment should be evaluated based on its current condition.

LOCATION – TRULY HARD TO BEAT:

Hunyadi János Street is one of the few places in Budapest where historic surroundings, proximity to downtown, and green views come together.
Within a few minutes’ walk you can reach:
- The Buda Castle and the charming streets of the Castle District.
- Clark Ádám Square and the Chain Bridge.
- The Danube promenade.
- Víziváros’s restaurants, cafés, and services.
- The Pest city center, even on foot.

PARKING:

Street parking is available in the public area. Residents with permanent addresses in the district can apply for a resident parking permit according to current municipal rules.

This apartment is not perfect right now. But its features are such that renovation can unlock its potential, which cannot be recreated later.

ASKING PRICE: 159 MILLION HUF
