There comes a point when an apartment is no longer enough.

You may need one more room, a comfortable home office, more children’s rooms, a larger shared living space, your own garden, a double garage and predictable maintenance costs. At the same time, not everyone wants to spend years dealing with construction, contractors, deadlines and changing building costs.

In one of Debrecen’s popular, family-friendly residential areas, Akadémiakert, we offer for sale a carefully maintained terraced family home of approx. 220 m², with a well-planned layout and strong technical content. In terms of size, usability and condition, it can be a real alternative to building a new family house.

Guide price: HUF 172,000,000

Based on the stated floor area, the guide price is approx. HUF 782,000/m². This should be considered not only as a price per square metre, but also in terms of location, technical content, double garage, low maintenance, usability and replacement value.

Based on current market experience, building a similar-sized, high-quality, turnkey family home may easily reach around HUF 900,000–1,000,000/m² or even more, without the cost of the plot or plot share, planning, utilities, garage, garden, fencing, permits, time investment and the uncertainties that come with construction.

Here, all of this is already completed: a well-functioning, practical and carefully upgraded home is waiting for its new owner.

Layout

On the ground floor, there is a double garage, a ground-floor room, a separate toilet, a bathroom with shower, a spacious kitchen, dining area and living room.

Both the living room and the ground-floor room provide direct access to the rear terrace and garden. This garden connection is especially convenient in everyday life: it is ideal for morning coffee, summer dinners, family barbecues or gatherings with friends.

The rear garden is surrounded by a high fence and made private with green trees and plants. Its size is practical: it is easy to use, but does not require time-consuming maintenance. According to the owners’ experience, lawn mowing can be done in a short time.

Upstairs, there is a spacious master bedroom with a large private walk-in wardrobe, three children’s rooms, a laundry/utility room, a separate toilet and an approx. 15 m² bathroom with bathtub, shower, double washbasin and practical built-in cabinets.

The upper floor also has a large terrace, accessible from three rooms. This is a special extra feature, as the property offers outdoor connection not only on the ground floor, but also upstairs.

The attic is currently used as one open space, but it can be converted into two separate rooms and a bathroom, if required. The preparation for a shower bathroom/toilet has already been completed, the connections are in place, and the installation of sanitary ware and finishing materials is needed to complete it.

Utilities and maintenance

One of the important advantages of the house is that, based on the owners’ previous utility bills, its maintenance costs are favourable compared to its size.

Based on the available bills, the total utility cost of a summer month — including electricity, gas, the monthly proportion of water/sewerage and TV/internet — was around HUF 20,600/month.

In the winter period, based on a higher-consumption month, the total monthly utility cost — including electricity, gas, the monthly proportion of water/sewerage and TV/internet — was around HUF 49,600/month, to which the cost of firewood also belongs during the heating season due to the use of the fireplace.

During the heating season, the owners regularly used the water-based fireplace in addition to gas heating, and typically ordered one truckload of firewood per year.

The actual monthly utility cost naturally depends on usage habits, the number of residents, the chosen heating method, the quantity and price of firewood, as well as current service provider tariffs.

Technical features

The favourable maintenance costs are also supported by the well-planned technical content:

* B30 brick walls
* 10 cm graphite thermal insulation
* triple-glazed plastic windows with shutters
* Viessmann condensing gas boiler in very good condition
* domestic hot water tank
* BW water softener
* water-based fireplace with 700-litre heat storage buffer tank
* according to the owners’ information, the water-based fireplace can even be suitable for heating the entire house
* underfloor heating and radiators on the ground floor
* radiators on the upper floor and in the attic
* air conditioning on the ground floor and upper floor
* outdoor and indoor alarm system

The major technical upgrades have already been completed, so based on the current condition of the property, no immediate major investment is expected beyond a fresh coat of paint.

The energy certificate has been ordered, and the official energy rating will be available once it has been completed.

Family house lifestyle with an easy-to-maintain garden

This home is ideal for those who would like to enjoy the lifestyle of a family house, but do not want to spend their free time maintaining a large garden.

The private rear garden can be a perfect place for family programmes, barbecues, gatherings with friends or a peaceful afternoon rest.

The front garden and the shared access road create a truly family-friendly atmosphere. Children can ride bikes, play football, badminton or spend time with the neighbouring children in a more protected environment.

One of the great values of the residential community is that the neighbours know each other and look out for one another. For the owners, this has provided a strong sense of security and a pleasant community atmosphere.

Additional advantages

The property includes a double garage, and there is also the possibility to park additional cars. This is a major everyday convenience for families with more than one car.

The property is free of encumbrances, and the handover and moving date can be flexibly agreed, making the purchase process easier to plan.

As part of the purchase price, and at no extra cost, the seller will also provide enough firewood for one heating season, so the water-based fireplace can be used in the first winter without the new owner having to arrange this separately.

Who is it ideal for?

For families who have outgrown an apartment, but do not want to start an uncertain and costly construction project.

For those who value spacious living areas, good technical condition, favourable maintenance costs, a double garage, a family-friendly environment and a home that does not require immediate major work after purchase.

Anyone looking for a similar-sized home with strong technical content in Debrecen should definitely view this property in person.

This home is ready, well-planned, tested in everyday use and practical. It is a real alternative to building from scratch in Akadémiakert.
