Hello everyone,
after some skimming through, I hope for some tips on what is feasible with our budget or which path to take. Briefly on the key data:
- Budget for single-family house: 300k (of course without land)
- Land is available (2 different plots reserved, 650 sqm and 800 sqm), we have 2 weeks to decide and will base it on what exactly we want to build. The price difference is 30k (which we could invest elsewhere if we choose the smaller one). In terms of specifications, both are the same, the decision would actually only be: more or less garden/outdoor space
Requirements:
Style, roof shape, building type: Classic/Modern, gable roof
Size: 120 - 140 sqm living space
Floors: 1.5 - 2, no basement
Number of people, age: 2, 34
Room requirements:
Ground floor, spacious living/dining area, closed kitchen, possibly office, utility room, guest WC with shower
Upper floor: master bedroom (possibly + walk-in closet), 2 children's rooms, bathroom
Office: family use
Guests per year: 3-4
Open or closed architecture: closed
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen: no
Number of dining seats: 4-6
Fireplace: yes
Music/stereo wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: single garage + storage room
Utility garden, greenhouse: no
Additional wishes/features/daily routine: ideally KFW55, regarding equipment we do not want golden faucets, but electric blinds, large tiles and parquet in living/sleeping rooms, well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms should be included.
-Do-it-Yourself from you: tiling work, flooring, painting
We could plan everything ourselves and have good contacts to all trades (also shell construction/foundation/masonry completely and carpenters/roofers), partially also directly in the family. I can get all materials at good conditions.
Now the consideration is whether we (probably) build turnkey to be less stressful or if doing it ourselves saves so much money that the effort is worth it.
And basically: Is about 130 sqm of living space, without particularly fancy architecture but already modern, achievable in Bavaria (Lower Bavaria)? What do you think?
When I read here that you calculate about 1800 € to 2000 € per sqm, what does this price then include? Kitchen, landscaping, garage, paved driveway, terrace surely come on top?
Greetings and thanks in advance
I see the problem that your wishes cannot be realized on about 130 sqm.
On the ground floor you write spacious living area, closed kitchen, utility room, guest WC, office and/or guest room...???
Upstairs you want 3 bedrooms, possibly plus walk-in closet plus bathroom.
In my opinion, on 130 sqm those will be very small rooms or anything but spacious, or else fewer rooms.
For comparison, we also have about 135 sqm, small corridors and to save space a double-turned staircase.
On the ground floor there is only the living-dining room with open kitchen (approx. 57 sqm, which I would consider the minimum if I speak of spacious), a guest bathroom (approx. 6 sqm) and the hallway.
Upstairs we have 2 bedrooms (each approx. 17 sqm, so also not huge), a walk-in closet of about 13 sqm to the master bedroom, which could be separated "in an emergency" as a children's room and converted as such, as well as the bathroom (approx. 15 sqm).
Utility room is in the basement, as well as a guest room/office (not included in the 135 sqm).
If you want to fit all the rooms you listed on 130 sqm, as I said in my opinion it will be too tight...
