Budapest XI. kerület, Kosztolányi Dezső tér 5. For sale brick apartment

Classic Buda Apartment Next to Feneketlen Lake – 83 sqm, Balcony, Timeless Spaces

A home for those seeking not just square meters, but character, location, and potential.
On the first floor of a prestigious, elevator-equipped building at Kosztolányi Dezső Square, we offer for sale a 81 sqm property by deed, actually 83 sqm in reality, featuring 2 plus 1 half rooms and a balcony in a classic Buda apartment.

The apartment is currently in average condition, which is actually one of its greatest strengths: the new owner can renovate it according to their own vision, while benefiting from the unique charm of a historic Buda building and an exceptional urban location.

The classic layout is clearly felt throughout: two full rooms, one half room, a hall, entryway, separate kitchen, bathroom, and separate toilet make up the living spaces. The 4 sqm balcony is a pleasant addition, and the central heating system with radiators provides a reliable, traditional heating solution.

Not a fully renovated apartment – but an opportunity
It’s important to be honest: this property is not flawless at the moment, so don’t expect a freshly renovated, move-in ready home during the viewing.

The living room’s parquet is damaged, and overall the apartment requires renovation and modernization. However, its current condition also offers a chance: the new owner won’t have to compromise with a previous renovation style, but can create a home tailored to their own lifestyle, tastes, and ideas.

The apartment is currently rented, meaning it is usable and functional even in its present state.

Therefore, we primarily recommend this apartment to those who don’t seek a perfectly refurbished interior but instead see the potential behind its current condition.

With 83 sqm of floor space, two full rooms and one half room, a hall, separate kitchen, bathroom, separate toilet, and balcony, this property offers features that can be transformed into a valuable, elegant, and personalized Buda home with a thoughtful renovation.

Here, the current state is not the end of the story – it’s the starting point.
The Building – a Historic Buda Landmark
The building at Kosztolányi Dezső Square No. 5 dates back to interwar Budapest. It was documented standing in 1928 and was built by Stílusépítő Rt. According to archival records, a 1944 survey lists it as a six-story building with 54 apartments.

Today, the building still preserves its classic character, with a well-maintained façade, renovated staircase, and elevator welcoming visitors. The roof covering was replaced a few years ago.

The Neighborhood – Feneketlen Lake, Bartók Béla Street, Móricz Zsigmond Square
One of Kosztolányi Dezső Square’s greatest assets is that it offers both urban convenience and green surroundings. Feneketlen Lake and its park are just steps away, while the cafés, restaurants, and cultural venues of Bartók Béla Street are easily accessible.
Nearby Móricz Zsigmond Square is a major transport hub in Budapest, providing quick access to downtown and many parts of Buda.

Transport – Comfortable Without a Car
Multiple bus lines and the 19 and 49 trams run directly around the square. Móricz Zsigmond Square offers further tram and bus connections, and the M4 metro provides fast links to the city center and Kelenföld.

This location is especially ideal for those who want to live in a Buda environment without relying on a car.

Who Is This Apartment Best For?
We primarily recommend this apartment to someone who understands the potential of a well-located, renovation-ready classic apartment.
It’s ideal for a couple looking for a larger, traditional Buda home to customize according to their taste. It’s also a great choice for families, as the two full rooms and the half room offer versatile uses – bedroom, children’s room, office, or guest room.
It also holds promise for anyone wanting to create value through renovating a characterful home in a prime location.

This is not for someone wanting to move into a freshly renovated, showroom-style home tomorrow.

It’s for those who, upon entering, see not just what is now, but what this apartment can become.

83 sqm of classic civic space, 4 sqm balcony, elevator, well-maintained historic building, excellent Buda location – and an opportunity for someone to write the next chapter in their own style.
