The Szabo Ervin Library in Budapest, Hungary is a beautiful place. Much of the building is a modern library, but in the central library is a preserved palace, Wenckheim Palace. It was built by Count Frigyes Wenckheim (1842 – 1912), a well-known aristocrat of the end of the 19th century, the owner of a vast estate with the membership of the Parliament. The City Council purchased the building and converted the beautiful palace rooms into reading rooms for their new library in 1931.

An elongated covered entry welcomes you inside, where you'll find a quiet study and formal dining room on either side of the foyer. The combined great room and kitchen is enhanced by an accordion-style door that retracts to extend the living space outdoors. The massive island provides ample workspace in the kitchen, and a walk-in pantry neighbors a butler's pantry with a bar sink. A convenient playroom sits next to the kitchen so you can multi-task and keep toys contained to a particular area. Upstairs, the master suite is joined by three secondary bedrooms, and a rooftop patio offers a fun space to get some vitamin D. Finish the optional bonus room for an additional 418 sq ft of living space. Retreat to the optionally finished lower level to find a home theatre, game room, gym, and bedroom. The 2-bedroom apartment with a private entrance can be used as an in-law suite or income property.
