Budapest VII. kerület, Barát utca For sale brick apartment

This youthful and stylish two-room apartment is for sale on the third floor of a residential building on Barát Street, one of the greenest, quietest and almost traffic-free streets of Central Erzsébetváros.
According to the official property register, the apartment has a floor area of 56 sqm. Based on measurements of the usable living spaces — excluding internal walls and counting half of the balcony area — the total floor area is approximately 61 sqm.
Barát Street is lined with modernist residential buildings dating from around 1936, displaying distinctive Bauhaus and Art Deco architectural features. Photo and video features about the history of the street can be found by searching Google for “Barát utcai lakóházak We Love Budapest” or “Budapest100 Barát utca”.
The charming, bright, south-facing balcony overlooking the quiet street is accessible directly from the spacious living room. The open-plan living area also incorporates the dining room and kitchen. The bathroom with a shower can be accessed from here. From the entrance hall, the bedroom is located to the right and the living room to the left. The bedroom also has a small walk-in wardrobe. Both the bathroom and the separate toilet can be naturally ventilated through windows opening onto the building’s lightwell.
The apartment has low running costs, and the water consumption is individually metered. The monthly common charges include staircase lighting and cleaning, waste collection, building insurance and contributions to the building’s renovation fund.
During the renovation of the apartment a few years ago, the entire water and electrical systems were replaced, and an inverter air-conditioning system providing both cooling and heating was installed. The original parquet flooring and internal doors were also restored. This year, a new Vaillant condensing gas boiler was installed together with the replacement of the gas pipes.
The open-plan kitchen and living room form an exceptionally comfortable and spacious living area of almost 40 sqm including the dining area. The balcony opens directly from this space. From spring until autumn, it is completely screened by the surrounding trees, creating a private and intimate setting for morning coffee, afternoon conversations or a glass of wine in the evening.
As the apartment is located on the top residential floor, it is always bright, sunny and exceptionally quiet. The 11 sqm bedroom overlooks a secluded rear garden filled with trees and greenery, completely protected from traffic and neighbouring views, offering excellent privacy.
Additional features include an eight-point locking security entrance door and a fitted kitchen.
The building has a very good community of residents and property owners. Last year, the main electrical wiring in the staircase and the individual electrical connections to the apartments were completely replaced. The roof was repaired in 2022. Minutes of the condominium meetings documenting these renovations are available.
This year’s major improvement is the renovation of the staircase, including the replacement of windows and complete repainting, which is scheduled to be completed in October.
The neighbourhood offers excellent infrastructure, with numerous restaurants, cafés, cinemas, theatres and gyms nearby. Public transport connections are extremely convenient: Metro lines M2 and M4, as well as tram lines 4 and 6, are all within approximately a five-minute walk. Parking is also relatively easy to find on the street.
The apartment is offered for sale furnished and also includes an approximately 4 sqm private storage unit in the basement.
The property is free of liens and encumbrances and is owned by a single owner with a 100% ownership share, allowing for a smooth and straightforward sale.
