Welcome home!

SHORT SUMMARY
Located in Budapest’s 5th district, on the tree-lined Kecskeméti Street, just a few steps from the recently renewed Egyetem Square, this beautifully renovated apartment is offered for sale on the 2nd floor of an elegant historic building. The property features 130 sqm, east-facing, street-facing, bright and sunlit interiors, a living room plus three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a balcony. The apartment has been renovated to an exceptional standard and represents refined urban luxury.

LOCATION
The property is situated in one of Budapest’s most culturally rich and densely layered urban areas, while still offering a pleasant, walkable residential environment. Within just a few minutes’ walk, you can reach Károlyi Garden, Egyetem Square, Ferenciek Square, Váci Street, and the Danube riverbank, which is only three minutes away. The surrounding gastronomic scene is outstanding: Vén Diák, The Pointer Pub & Restaurant, Hummus Bar, Padthai Wokbar, and the Michelin-starred SALT restaurant are all within easy walking distance. For everyday shopping, the Great Market Hall, Aldi, Lidl, as well as several 24-hour grocery stores and bakeries, are located within five minutes.

Families and investors alike benefit from the nearby green spaces and educational institutions. Károlyi Garden playground, Váci Street Music Primary School, Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), and the Apáczai Csere János Secondary School and Dormitory are all just a short walk away. For car owners, several well-established parking facilities are conveniently accessible, including the First Site Hotel garage (Reáltanoda Street 8), Csarnok Parking (Csarnok Square 2), and the Mercure Hotel parking garage on Magyar Street / Kecskeméti Street. The nearby Franklin House (Reáltanoda Street 5) further enhances the area’s architectural and historical character.

BUILDING
The building at 9 Kecskeméti Street is a late Secession–early modernist residential building, constructed in the early 20th century during a transitional period of Budapest’s bourgeois apartment-house architecture. Its façade already moves away from heavy historicism, while still preserving the refined plasticity and decorative rhythm characteristic of Secessionist design.
The vertical emphasis, symmetrical axis layout, and the series of curved balconies with wrought-iron railings along the central projection give the building a strong urban presence. The gently flowing balcony forms and wrought-iron details clearly reflect turn-of-the-century Secessionist influences, while the façade surfaces themselves are more restrained and functional.

The proportions of the windows, the delicately articulated plasterwork above and below them, and the understated ornamentation reinforce the image of a high-quality bourgeois residential building, designed not for pure representation but for long-term, comfortable urban living. The loggias and balconies on the upper floors provide light and air — a particularly valuable feature within the dense inner-city fabric.

Overall, the building represents a well-balanced, timeless piece of historic urban architecture. While not a monumental landmark, it is a solid, characterful residential house that continues to offer a desirable and stable living environment in the heart of the city.

APARTMENT
The interior was designed under the guidance of a renowned interior architect, with the primary goal of combining livable luxury with high-tech engineering solutions. The result is a truly world-class family home that carries forward the traditions of turn-of-the-century Budapest, reinterpreted for contemporary living.

The apartment underwent a complete structural and mechanical renovation in 2024, focusing on modern technology, durability, and long-term reliability. The concept was to create an intelligently operating home that remains comfortable and dependable for years to come.

During the renovation, a brand-new concrete subfloor was installed, forming the base for Wi-Fi-controlled, app-operated underfloor heating. All rooms are fitted with new, four-chamber, high-performance thermal and acoustic insulating windows, complemented by remotely controlled motorized shutters.

The water, heating, and electrical systems were fully renewed. Lighting throughout the apartment is smart-controlled via mobile application, enhanced by custom LED solutions. Comfort is further supported by a remotely adjustable air-conditioning system and a security alarm connected to remote monitoring.

Thoughtful interior design decisions define the character of the space. Custom-made interior doors, recreated based on the original nearly 100-year-old designs, create a subtle dialogue between past and present. Walls are finished with premium, washable paint, while surfaces feature Spanish porcelain tiles and glass mosaics. The bathrooms and kitchen are finished to a high standard with luxury sanitary ware, Grohe fittings, and Italian designer switches, complemented by custom-built, high-gloss furniture designed exclusively for this apartment.

From the entrance hall, one enters the spacious, light-filled kitchen and dining area, the true heart of the home. The kitchen is equipped with top-tier German appliances, including a built-in externally vented extractor hood, induction cooktop, convection oven, built-in refrigerator with freezer drawers, microwave oven, and an integrated washer-dryer. Through a wide open passage, the space flows into the living room, refined with Parisian luxury wallpaper and custom-designed sculptural elements. A 70” UHD television ensures relaxed movie nights, whether enjoyed from the sofa or one of the generously proportioned armchairs. All furniture pieces are custom-made based on the interior designer’s own plans, produced by a Hungarian artisan workshop.

From the living room, two bedrooms open to the right and left. The left bedroom provides access to the spacious terrace and has an en-suite bathroom with shower. The right bedroom features a dedicated work corner and an en-suite bathroom with a hydromassage bathtub. Brand-new TVs, relaxation armchairs, and large French beds ensure a calm and intimate atmosphere in each bedroom.

An additional guest bedroom opens from the dining area, also with its own shower bathroom and work corner. All three bedrooms include custom-designed walk-in wardrobes with grey, smoke-tinted mirrored finishes, created specifically for this home. A comprehensive Smart Home system allows remote control of shutters, air conditioning, underfloor heating, and lighting via mobile application, making it possible to set the desired atmosphere even before arriving home.

WHO IS THIS HOME IDEAL FOR?
For those who view inner-city living as a conscious lifestyle choice rather than a compromise. Ideal for families who value generous space and calm surroundings, for couples seeking a refined urban residence, and for investors for whom quality, longevity, and a prime location are essential considerations.

SUMMARY & CONTACT
This property is not merely a renovated apartment, but a carefully designed, intelligently functioning living space in one of Budapest’s most valuable inner-city locations.
