280 m² of classic bourgeois elegance on the Danube’s first line, with private parking, a panoramic balcony, and an unparalleled view of the Citadel.

Located in one of Budapest’s most prestigious and historic riverside areas, we offer for sale a truly unique grand bourgeois home where historic elegance, representative spaces, and the comfort of modern urban living blend harmoniously.

This apartment, situated in a historicist-style palace building on the iconic Belgrád Quay, stands out on the Budapest real estate market with nearly 280 m² of floor space, exceptional panoramic views, and versatile usability.

The imposing building, constructed in 1899, was designed by licensed engineer József Hubert at the commission of Gustav Chmel, a piano manufacturer and commercial councilor. The house still preserves the bourgeois elegance and architectural richness that defined Budapest’s golden era.

From the moment you enter the building, a special atmosphere is felt—one that is increasingly rare in the capital. Carefully maintained common areas, a decorative staircase, historical details, and elevator access provide a worthy setting for this exceptional home.

One of the apartment’s greatest assets is its breathtaking view of the Danube.

From the living areas and the cozy balcony, you can admire the Danube, the Buda side, Gellért Hill, the Citadel, and Budapest’s iconic bridges. The ever-changing urban panorama offers a unique experience both day and night, available only to homes located on the Danube’s first line.

Here, the proximity of the Danube is not just a view but part of daily life. Morning walks along the embankment, evening lights over the river, the city’s vibrancy, and one of Budapest’s most beautiful panoramas accompany the everyday life of residents.

The current layout forms a generous, representative unit, although legally the home still consists of two separate subunits.

The 227 m² and 53 m² sections currently function as one, but can easily be restored to two independent apartments if desired. This flexibility makes the property attractive to families, investors, international companies, law firms, or diplomatic missions alike.

Thanks to the open spaces and excellent floor plan, the apartment offers a spatial experience practically unattainable in modern buildings.

The classic bourgeois layout, ceiling heights of over three meters, and large rooms create a sense of space rarely reproducible in today’s apartments.

The apartment has a total of seven rooms, four of which can serve as full bedrooms. Despite the current office use, the classic apartment structure, room proportions, and layout clearly retain their original character.

The home includes three full bathrooms and a separate guest toilet.

Ceiling heights above three meters, representative spatial connections, excellent natural light, and large windows lend the apartment an elegance rarely found today in Budapest’s downtown.

Over the past five years, the apartment has undergone significant renovation.

The refurbishment preserved the essence of its grand bourgeois character while incorporating modern, high-quality solutions.

Beautifully restored interior doors, stucco decorations, French herringbone wooden parquet, classic proportions, and a charming tile stove evoke the values of the old bourgeois world. At the same time, modern LED lighting, elegant sandblasted glass doors, quality flooring, meticulously designed wet areas, and a high-gloss black equipped kitchen meet contemporary needs.

The apartment’s main west-facing rooms overlook the Danube, while several windows face the quieter east side, creating a pleasant balance between urban buzz and peaceful surroundings.

Heating and hot water are provided by a gas boiler with radiator heat emission.
