New York – 5th Avenue, London - Regent Street, Paris - Champs Elysees? Budapest – Andrassy Avenue!
Andrassy Avenue’s enviable address and prime location are on par with the prestige of New York’s 5th Avenue and Paris’s Champs-Elysées. The street radiates an atmosphere of exclusivity and luxury, and with its designer shops, high profile offices is a “prestige” to live or invest in.
Andrassy is the most representative road of Budapest and is mostly flanked by Eclectic-Neo-renaissance palaces with fine facades, staircases and interiors, and it is part of the World Heritage.
History
Andrassy Avenue was decreed to be built in 1870, to discharge the parallel Király utca from heavy traffic and to connect the inner city parts with Városliget through Terézváros. Its construction began in 1872 and the avenue was inaugurated on August 20 (a national holiday), 1867. It realization was a blend of the plans proposed by the top 3 competitors Lajos Lechner, Frigyes Feszl and Klein & Fraser. Its palaces were built by the most distinguished architects (led by Miklós Ybl) of the time, financed by Hungarian and other banking houses. These were mostly finished by 1884 and mostly aristocrats, bankers, landowners and historical families moved in. It was named in 1885 after the main supporter of the plan, Prime Minister Gyula Andrássy.
The construction of the first underground in Continental Europe was proposed in 1870, since the capital had always been against any surface transport on this road. Construction began in 1894 and was finished in 1896, so this new metro line could facilitate the transport to Városliget, the main venue of the millennium celebrations of Hungary.
The building
We are pleased to introduce our luxury loft apartments in one of these beautiful, classical buildings only one block away from Liszt Ferenc Square, Budapest’s most frequented cafe spot, and cross the famous Opera.
The building was built in 1883 and designed by Vilmos Freud, who also made a bid for the Parliament. The neighboring house in the corner, which is adjacent to Liszt Ferenc Square, is also a historically preserved building.
In front of our building there is a wide pathway bordered with a line of beautiful, preserved trees. Entering the main gate we step into a well-proportioned hallway, with arches and ornate walls. The hall is divided by a renaissance column and a renaissance niche is also created here. The main staircase starts from the ground floor, its walls are richly decorated up to the third floor, where the ceiling is painted too.
Beyond these gates you are right in the centre of bustling city life, yet separated from the noisiness of the downtown. Living in a loft apartment is a life-style. It blends the most enviable locations with exceptional architecture and comfort.
Design
The loft conversions are being developed by an internationally recognised architect, Anita Lanyi, who is famous for her devotion to organic design. It means natural materials are used everywhere: wooden doors and windows, granite and marble floors and tiles, wooden parquet etc. No plastic. She insists on creating a liveable environment with lots of green and outward space: no blocks of concrete, but tiny parks with benches - all these on the top of the roof!
Location
Andrássy Avenue, lined with ancient trees and architectural masterpieces, has been the centre of glittering life in Budapest for many decades.
It is situated in the heart of the 6th district linking another major road, Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Ut, and the 100 hectare City Park. At the foot of the road you can find the impressive Saint Stephen Basilika. Going up we reach Liszt Ferenc Square with its stylish cafés and bars, elegant restaurants, which is converted into a mediterranean-style open-air chill-out place in the summer, creating a bustling meeting point for the cosmopolitan. Opposite there is the Opera, centre of the social life and home of the famous “Opera Ball”. Walking up a little, we get to the “Soho” of Budapest: bars, theatres and various music ven
