A Rare Harmony of History and Modernity in Budapest’s Most Exclusive Residential Enclave
Nestled on an expansive, wooded hillside in Budapest’s prestigious 12th District, this extraordinary historic property presents a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a Romantic Revival residence into a landmark estate of architectural distinction.
Currently in need of complete renovation, the existing structure retains many original elements that echo its late 19th-century Alpine-inspired character — from its steep gabled roofs and turret to arched stone arcades and timber details. With the right stewardship, this once-stately home can be transformed into a timeless sanctuary.
The accompanying concept design, developed by a leading architectural studio, envisions a seamless fusion of historical charm and contemporary refinement. Highlights include the reconstruction of wood-carved loggias, a sophisticated glass pavilion for indoor-outdoor living, landscaped terraces with an infinity-edge pool, and a beautifully integrated interior layout tailored for modern luxury. In its current condition, the property offers approximately 500 sqm of usable living space.
Following the renovation based on the plans shown in the images, the total livable area can be increased to 928 sqm. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic property with strong character and reposition it as a standout asset in the luxury Budapest real estate market.
