The "Fischer-House" Penthouse: A 104m² Historic Gem Overlooking Szenes Hanna Park

A Protected Monument in a Magical Setting Located at Jósika utca 25, this 104m² penthouse offers a rare opportunity to live within the locally protected "Fischer-house". The building is architecturally significant, boasting one of Budapest’s most beautiful stairwells with an elegant curved main staircase. While the front facade is in exceptional condition following a recent renovation, the building’s interior remains a fairytale-like retreat featuring a charming courtyard filled with plants and intricate wrought iron decorations.

It sits on the top floor, providing a quiet sanctuary overlooking a leafy, pedestrianised street and the greenery of Szenes Hanna Park. The apartment has been lovingly cared for and retains its grand proportions and original soul. While it is ready for a new owner to bring a fresh touch and modernise the interior to its full potential, it offers a solid foundation of timeless features:

• Traditional Hardwood Floors: The rooms feature classical herringbone parquet, likely durable acacia hardwood, providing an elegant base for any future refresh.

• Ornate Details: Soaring high ceilings are adorned with original ornate plasterwork and stucco rosettes.

• Decorative Ironwork: The original grand double doors are fitted with beautiful, intricate decorative ironwork.

A thoughtful & functional Layout:

• Grand Living Space: An expansive room flooded with tall windows and natural light, featuring a full-wall custom bookshelf and ample space for lounging and formal dining.

• Two Large Bedrooms: Spacious sleeping quarters, with one bedroom showcasing a magnificent, classic ceramic tile stove (cserépkályha) as a functional focal point.

• Designer Kitchen: A unique space blending the rustic charm of exposed brick walls with modern cabinetry and striking blue-and-white patterned floor tiling.

• Practical Storage: Often missing in modern homes, the apartment includes two dedicated storage rooms: one serving as a cleaning cupboard and the other as a pantry.

• Bathroom & Facilities: A contemporary bathroom with a corner bathtub and laundry facilities, plus a separate toilet for convenience.

• Shared hidden garden space at the ground floor

Modern Comforts and city centre lifestyle: Essential modernisations have already been completed:

• A recently installed air conditioning system providing both heating and cooling.

• Recently replaced modern double-glazed windows ensure superior energy efficiency and a silent living environment.

This property is ideally situated just minutes from the vibrant restaurants and shops of Király utca and a LIDL supermarket. A 10-minute stroll connects you to the Hunyadi tér farmers market, Oktogon, Andrássy út, and the University of Veterinary Medicine, ensuring excellent long-term investment value.
