Budapest IX. kerület, Erkel utca 3. For sale brick apartment

RARE BUDAPEST INVESTMENT – 66 m² + 14 m² USABLE LOFT, TWO PRIVATE AREAS NEXT TO THE GREAT MARKET HALL
A truly unique layout: two separate private rooms, each with its own usable loft (6 + 8 m²), plus a spacious 25 m² living room and open-plan kitchen.
Prime central location next to the Great Market Hall, just 2–3 minutes from Corvinus University — an exceptional opportunity for long-term rental, university rental or flexible shared living.
Not your typical two-room apartment.
This unique first-floor apartment offers 66 m² of official floor area plus approximately 14 m² of genuinely usable loft space, with two separate private rooms located at opposite ends of the apartment.
Each of the two private rooms has its own loft: approximately 6 m² in one room and 8 m² in the other. Thanks to the high ceilings, both lofts are comfortable, usable additional living spaces – not simply sleeping platforms.
In between the two private areas is a spacious 25 m² living room with an open-plan kitchen, creating an unusually flexible layout that works exceptionally well both as a private home and as a rental property.
WHY THIS PROPERTY IS INTERESTING FOR INVESTORS
The layout makes the apartment particularly suitable for long-term rental, university-oriented rental or shared living.
It can comfortably accommodate:
two university students or friends, each with their own private room and loft
two couples sharing the apartment while maintaining privacy
a family
a couple with separate work or guest space
The combination of two independent private areas, each with its own loft, plus a large shared living space makes the apartment much more flexible than a conventional two-room property.
A LOCATION THAT IS DIFFICULT TO BEAT
The apartment is located at the very beginning of Erkel Street, directly next to Budapest's Great Market Hall, in one of the most sought-after central areas of District IX.
Corvinus University: approx. 2–3 minutes on foot
Great Market Hall: literally next door
Danube: a few minutes' walk
Ráday Street and pedestrian streets: just steps away
Kálvin tér: within easy walking distance
M3 and M4 metro lines: at Kálvin tér
Trams 2, 47 and 49: easily accessible
Numerous restaurants, cafés, bars and shops nearby
Budapest city centre and Váci Street: easily reachable on foot
This combination of central location, universities, excellent public transport and a highly flexible layout gives the property strong long-term rental potential.
RENOVATED AND READY TO USE
The apartment has undergone significant modernization, including:
complete heating modernization
new boiler and chimney
renewed plumbing and electrical wiring
renovated bathroom with huge new windows, spacious built-in shower and custom cabinetry
separate WC with washbasin
separate utility/laundry room
modern IKEA kitchen with ceramic hob, electric oven, extractor hood, kitchen island and extensive storage
The beautifully renovated and well-maintained building also has a new panoramic elevator.
A HOME THAT HAS ALREADY PROVEN ITS VERSATILITY
I bought the apartment around 10 years ago when my older daughter was accepted to university. Both of my daughters lived here during their university years.
More recently, my younger daughter lived here with her husband and their newborn baby, and the apartment worked beautifully as a spacious family home.
So this is not simply a property designed around one particular rental concept. It is a genuinely flexible home that has successfully served different generations and different stages of life.
Furniture may remain by separate agreement and is not included in the asking price.
Private sale directly from the owner.
An excellent opportunity for someone looking for a centrally located Budapest property with unusually flexible use, strong rental appeal and genuine additional usable space.
