Perched atop the newly revived Csetényi Villa in Budapest’s District 2, the penthouse apartment “Orizzonte Blu” occupies the villa’s entire top floor, offering a quiet penthouse retreat on the leafy slopes of Rózsadomb.
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.
This penthouse home features a thoughtful interior layout by Hungarian interior designer Judit Szebellédy, who focused on natural materials and warm, welcoming textures. A private penthouse elevator opens directly into a light-filled space where modern lines meet the unique cozy angles of the villa’s roofline. Large, custom-made double roof windows bring in abundant sunlight and frame sweeping, south-facing views over the Buda Hills, the Buda Castle skyline, and Gellért Hill.
The apartment currently features a spacious living room with open plan kitchen and dining area, 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and a guest toilet.
Beyond the main living floor, the apartment comes with a generous 18 m² lower-level storage area split into two connected rooms, perfect for a workshop, private wine cellaring, or additional organized storage.
An underground hallway connects the building’s elevator to the adjacent garage level, where two private parking spaces equipped with EV chargers are available.
Set just down the street from the British Ambassador’s Residence, the home sits in a notably secure, tranquil diplomatic enclave in Rézmál. It offers the peaceful, green feel of a suburban hideaway, while keeping you just minutes from Széll Kálmán Square, international schools, and the city center. It’s a bright, private top-floor haven with timeless character and unmatched views.
