Premium A++ Family house in Gyenesdiás – Sustainable comfort, classic timeless style, minimal overhead costs

Description
A home built for ourselves in 2021 – every detail reflects our careful planning and commitment to sustainable comfort.

Overheads that are virtually non-existent: Monthly energy costs are only ~20,000 HUF – this represents the total annual overhead costs for the entire household (heating, cooling, hot water, household appliances, electric car charging). In addition, only water and garbage fees are incurred.


Spaces and layout: The three levels of the house offer a total of 315 m² of net living space on an 820 m² plot. Including the terraces, the gross area exceeds 400 m². Perfectly suited for large families or multiple generations living together, with well-defined living areas.

• Ground floor (161 m²): The 31 m² living room and 23 m² dining room function as an open, connected space, with the limestone-framed fireplace as the natural centerpiece. Fully equipped kitchen (steam oven, double oven), two bedrooms, bathroom, half bathroom, laundry room.
• Upper floor (90 m²): Three bedrooms + guest room with en-suite bathrooms, and a 27 m² second living room (study, playroom or guest reception area). Built-in wardrobes in every room. Space prepared for a sauna, with electrical outlet.
• Attic (64 m²): Parquet flooring, heated, fully functional space – ideal for a hobby room, home office or workshop.
• Terraces (total 103 m²): The covered terrace on the ground floor is connected to the living room. The dining terrace welcomes guests with a summer kitchen, oven and built-in charcoal grill. The 67 m² terrace on the upper floor is an enclosed, private relaxation area – suitable for a sauna or jacuzzi, but also an ideal venue for summer star gazing, ping-pong and foosball tournaments.
• Double garage (36 m²) with electric Hörmann door and storm threshold.

Energy and sustainability: The energy efficiency of the house is the result of conscious design, not a compromise made after the fact.

• Heating/Cooling: A Swedish Nibe VVM500 heat pump with floor and ceiling heating/cooling keeps the house at a constant temperature in winter and summer. H-tariff, with more favorable net metering.
• Solar panels: 10 kW Canadian Solar system with net metering – in practice, this means that the total annual electricity cost for the entire household is only about 20,000 HUF.
• Additional systems: Three-phase power supply (3×25 A), alarm system, central water softener (EcoWater eVolution500), water filter and water purification system.
• Wood-burning fireplace: Not just for decoration – it can heat the entire lower level and adds a cozy atmosphere to winter evenings.

School is a 5-minute walk away, shops are within walking distance, and Keszthely is a few minutes away by car. Lake Balaton is 10 minutes away.

Who is this house for? Those who know what they are looking for: a home where sustainable solutions and quality materials are the guiding principles. The layout of the house is suitable for large families, multi-generational living, or working from home, while still allowing for a full family life.
