Tucked away on the leafy slopes of Rózsadomb, Budapest’s District II, you’ll find Residenza d'Arte — a single-story home set on the first floor of the newly renovated “Villa Csetényi”. Originally built in 1923, for the art collector József Csetényi, this Neo-Renaissance luxury villa has been given a thoughtful second life. The original historic details, like its hand-carved stone brackets and grand entrance gates, have been carefully restored, blending quietly into a small, boutique collection of just five residences. Inside, the home spans 128 m² across the entire 1st floor. The interior is designed by the award-winning, Italian architect Roberto Paoli. It feels bright and open, balancing classic high ceilings with clean, functional modern finishes. Sun streams in throughout the day through large windows and glass doors, creating a light-filled space that works just as well for hosting friends as it does for quiet mornings with a coffee. The real star of the home is the 44 m² south-facing terrace with the characteristic gargoyles. It gives you a front-row seat to some of the best views in the city, sweeping across the Buda Hills, the skyline of the Castle District, and out toward Gellért Hill. The master bedroom also connects to the terrace and has its luxurious, en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. Another two bedrooms, an additional bathroom and a guest toilet is also to be found here. Downstairs, there’s a surprisingly versatile extra space—a heated 13 m² room with its own natural light. It’s ideal for a quiet home office, creative studio, wine room, or private gym. An elevator connects you directly to the underground garage, where two parking spots with EV charging are available. Living here means you're right next to the British Ambassador's Residence, giving the quiet, tree-lined street an exceptionally safe and relaxed, diplomatic feel. You get the peace of a green suburban neighborhood, while still being just a few minutes away from Széll Kálmán Square, top schools, local markets, and the city center. It’s a warm, character-rich home built to last another hundred years. For more information on this property, or to schedule a viewing, please feel free to contact us.
