Pekáry House stands as an architectural marvel in Budapest's Király utca, a testament to the eclectic tastes of Imre Pekáry, its original visionary. Designed by Ferenc Brein in 1848, it's a striking blend of Gothic and romantic styles, standing out in its era and even today. Once a symbol of status and elegance, its distinctive features include knights in full regalia guarding the entrance and a six-pointed star chosen for its aesthetic appeal. This house has been an integral part of the city's history, serving as a hub for Jewish life and even as a refuge during World War II. It's also famed as the residence of novelist Gyula Krúdy and his wife Arabella, adding a literary charm to its legacy. Today, Pekáry House, restored to its former glory, continues to be a landmark of culture and history in Budapest.
Nestled in Budapest's historical Pekáry House along Király ut, this 1.5 bedroom Design Apartment is a fusion of modern luxury and profound heritage. A tranquil courtyard view complements the vibrant city life outside.
A short walk from Andrassy Avenue and the Hungarian State Opera, the apartment lies in the heart of Budapest. It stands between the luxury of high street brands and the culturally rich Jewish Quarter, famous for its ruin bars, exquisite restaurants, and bustling weekend markets.
Here, history breathes through Gothic motifs and the legacy of great Budapest’s key historical figures. This isn't just a home; it's a piece of Budapest's heart, offering the best of both worlds – opulent city life and deep cultural immersion.
Design-Chic Living in District VII
Budapest
Over the past decade, the VII. District’s Jewish Quarter has evolved from a bohemian mess of streets to a pulsing, contemporary hotspot filled with new-wave coffee shops, boutique cocktail bars and restaurants, music venues and design stores. The ruin-pubs and Jewish culture that popularized the District are now couched between new neighbors incorporating Western European trends. But there’s no doubt that the colorful chaos of Szimpla Kert, Jewish gastro-gardens of Kőleves, Mazel Tov and co., and other bohemian mainstays still dictate the District’s flavor. Despite its rapid evolution, the Seventh is big, filled with charming local spots, if you can pry yourself away from the lively Gozsdu Courtyard or Király Street. And with the highest population density of all the Districts, it offers 24-hour energy and life to residents and visitors.
