Rare elegant apartment near Városliget – in a historic building on Dózsa György Road

Just steps from Városliget, I offer for sale a bright, elegant apartment in one of Budapest’s historically significant bourgeois condominium buildings on Dózsa György Road.

The property is located on the second floor of a distinctive three-story condominium built in 1906 in a historicist style. This building is not only architecturally valuable but also an important part of Budapest’s housing history: it was home to Hungary’s first housing cooperative, established here in 1908. The building’s historical significance is still visible in the special bas-relief on the façade and the richly decorated architectural details.

Designed by Gyula Fodor, who lived here with his family, the stairwell’s impressive appearance is enhanced by original colorful Róth Miksa stained glass windows, reflecting Budapest’s unparalleled artistic and architectural heritage from the turn of the century. The building carries the elegance and atmosphere of bygone eras while functioning as a continuously developing and carefully maintained condominium.

Price: 104.9 million HUF

CONDOMINIUM:
- 4 floors,
- approximately 35 apartments,
- financially well-managed with savings,
- recent renovations include full refurbishment of the exterior corridors,
- modernization of electrical systems (low and high voltage),
- currently undergoing stairwell renovation.

APARTMENT:
This 84 m² apartment on the second floor faces northeast–southwest, ensuring bright, pleasant natural light throughout the day. The high 340 cm ceilings further enhance the classic bourgeois elegance and spaciousness.

One of the apartment’s most distinctive features is its large, tall bourgeois windows that flood the space with natural light. Afternoon sunlight beautifully highlights the period interior details, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and comfortably tranquil.

The mood is enriched by beautiful wooden interior doors with delicately carved, almost stucco-like details, evoking the special elegance of turn-of-the-century bourgeois architecture. The parquet flooring in the rooms adds warmth and classic character to the interior.

The apartment exudes a unique, hard-to-define bourgeois atmosphere created by the interplay of light, ceiling height, and original architectural details.

One of the apartment’s greatest assets is its excellent proportions and well-arranged, adaptable spaces. Thanks to its location and thick bourgeois walls, it is surprisingly quiet, fully heated, and operates with favorable maintenance costs while offering all the advantages of urban life.

The property underwent a full technical and aesthetic renovation in 1997, including:
- plumbing network,
- electrical system,
- parquet flooring,
- complete heating system,
all carried out with building permits.

In 2021, a modern, independent Saunier Duval condensing boiler was installed, providing heating and hot water.

Utility consumption is metered separately for each service.

The apartment includes two chimneys:
- one for two tile stoves,
- one for the gas boiler.

Monthly heating costs are favorable, around 12,700 HUF.

COMMON COSTS:
33,105 HUF/month, covering maintenance of common areas and the renovation fund.

A private storage room of approximately 5 m² is available in the basement for the apartment.
