NOT MERELY A VILLA. A PIECE OF HUNGARIAN MODERN ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY.

GEDEON GERLÓCZY’S 1931 VILLA IN PASARÉT
Offered for sale: a family home built in 1931 on a 361 m² plot in Budapest’s District II. Fully renovated in 2018, it features 6 rooms, access to a terrace and balcony, and a large garage.
This property is not for someone simply looking for a house. It is for the person who understands what makes an authentic modernist villa from 1931 so special—and who can afford to own not just a property, but a piece of architectural heritage.

FOR LOVERS OF BAUHAUS AND HUNGARIAN MODERNISM
The Napraforgó Street experimental housing estate was built in 1931 and stands as one of the defining early complexes of Hungarian modern architecture. The core concept was for leading Hungarian architects to demonstrate how modern, functional, sunlit family homes with garden access could be created on small plots.
The estate was conceived as a villa complex comprising just 22 homes and is associated with architects such as Lajos Kozma, Alfréd Hajós, József Fischer, and Farkas Molnár—while Villa No. 19 was designed by Gedeon Gerlóczy. An important architectural-historical clarification: while Napraforgó Street is strongly linked to the ideals of the Bauhaus and international modernism, documentation reveals that—among the estate’s designers—only Farkas Molnár actually studied at the Weimar Bauhaus. Therefore, it is more accurate to present Gedeon Gerlóczy’s villa as part of the Napraforgó Street complex, which is associated with the spirit of the Bauhaus and Hungarian modern architecture.
This is not a new build merely influenced by the Bauhaus style; it is a genuine product of the 1931 architectural era.

GEDEON GERLÓCZY – A NAME IN ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY
The architect of House No. 19 is Gedeon Gerlóczy.
Thus, the villa is not simply a family home in Pasarét that happened to be built in 1931.
It has an author. It has an era. It has an architectural identity.
And this is precisely the distinction that a buyer with an appreciation for architecture immediately understands.

THE VISION OF 1931 REMAINS SURPRISINGLY MODERN TODAY
Nearly a century ago, the architectural concept of Napraforgó Street centered on values ​​that we once again seek out as premium features today:
•natural light
•large window surfaces
•clean, functional floor plans
•connection to the garden
•terraces
•simple geometry
•functionality over superfluous ornamentation
•human-scale living spaces
•a green environment.
Perhaps this is why this architecture has aged so well.
It did not attempt to follow a passing trend; it sought to create a new way of life. THE VILLA ITSELF
Built in 1931, this southwest-facing, three-level property stands on a 361 m² corner plot.
Key spaces and features
•6 rooms
•19.68 m² kitchen-dining area
•Upstairs rooms measuring 26.26 m² and 20.29 m²
•9.49 m² winter garden
•15.82 m² balcony
•8.17 m² terrace
•Garden of approx. 160 m²
•20.56 m² cellar
•34.66 m² garage
•Private storage unit.
This is not a case of oversized ostentation, but rather an embodiment of what modernism was originally about:
good proportions, light, functionality, and a connection to the garden.

HISTORIC CHARACTER – MODERN COMFORT
The house underwent renovation in 2018, combining its 1931 architectural character with modern-day livability. •triple-glazed wooden windows and doors
•authentic-style wooden parquet flooring
•stone flooring
•underfloor heating in the kitchen
•radiator heating in the rooms

Thanks to the solar panel system, there is no electricity bill, and the stated heating/utility costs are 50,000–60,000 HUF;

34.66 m² GARAGE – SPACE FOR UP TO 5 CARS
The villa features its own 34.66 m² garage, included in the purchase price. There is space for 2 cars in the garage, plus 3 additional open parking spots.
This is a particularly valuable feature for a nearly century-old villa in Buda.

NOT FOR EVERYONE – AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
With a purchase price of 589,900,000 HUF, this property is accessible to a select group of buyers.
But the mass market is not the target audience for a house like this.
We recommend it to those who:
•are enthusiasts of Bauhaus and interwar modern architecture;
•appreciate the significance of Gedeon Gerlóczy and the original Napraforgó Street housing complex; •is looking for authentic architectural character rather than a newly built luxury villa;
•values ​​the green, understated elegance of the Pasarét district;
•does not simply want to buy square footage;

You could buy a larger house. You could buy a newer one. But you cannot build another original Gerlóczy villa—part of the 1931 modernist complex on Napraforgó Street. For those who appreciate this, the house is more than just a property; it is a piece of Hungarian architectural history worth preserving.
