Characteristics

Description of the property

In the 2nd district of Budapest, nestled near the enchanting Apáthy Rock, you'll find an extraordinary villa situated on a vast 4,827 square-meter estate. This south-facing luxury residence offers panoramic views and boasts a spacious 800 square meters of living space, featuring 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and an indoor pool.

This exceptional villa was designed and constructed in 2000 by Ernő Rubik, the world-famous inventor of the Rubik's Cube, who called it home for 19 years. In 2019, the new owner carried out a comprehensive renovation of the lower three levels, including insulation, new windows, flooring, kitchen, sanitary facilities, pool, motorized blinds (controllable via phone), and more. However, the uppermost level has been preserved in its original state, with plans for necessary modernizations while maintaining the unique ambiance Ernő Rubik created. The iconic tower room, offering stunning views of the János Hill lookout tower, is also located on this level. Interestingly, the tower's distinctive design was inspired by three stacked cubes.

The property includes a 3-car garage, and the spacious garden allows for convenient parking of an additional 4-5 vehicles. Further amenities of this exceptional estate encompass an indoor pool, sauna, gym, home theater, wine cellar, safe room, heat pump, air conditioning, a smart home system, motorized blinds, a fireplace, a substantial utility room, 3 walk-in closets, a large outdoor barbecue area, 8 toilets, an unfinished attic space (suitable for an extra room), and more.

Within the garden, there is a two-story, heated greenhouse with a restroom and a tea kitchen, suitable for gardening or even as a guesthouse.

In the atrium, a sculptural cube serves as a tribute to Ernő Rubik's Rubik's Cube. The property is adjacent to a nature conservation area. It is an ideal choice for those who appreciate a private, intimate garden and aspire to live in luxury. The neighborhood boasts several public and private nurseries and schools. Within a short walk, you'll find a tram stop, bakery, tennis court, and beauty salon. Just a 1-2 minute drive away, there are supermarkets, restaurants, a hospital, more schools, and much more.

Various hiking opportunities await in the vicinity, including the iconic Apáthy Rock, the popular Árpád Lookout, and the mysterious Balogh Ádám Rock. This villa is a true gem, combining luxury and the beauty of nature, offering a home that caters to every need.
