This 247 sq. m two-storey home is set on a private 7.76-are plot within the gated HALSO residential development in Kalnėnai. The south-west-facing living areas open onto a terrace and a lush green garden, while expansive floor-to-ceiling windows fill the interiors with natural daylight.
Upon entering the home, a spacious hallway leads into the main living area, where the living room, dining area and kitchen flow seamlessly into one open-plan space. Ceilings reaching an impressive 3.7 metres enhance the sense of volume, while large glazed surfaces invite abundant daylight and frame views of the surrounding greenery. With the terrace doors open, the boundary between indoors and outdoors almost disappears. During the warmer months, the terrace becomes a natural extension of the home – a place to prepare dinner on the grill, gather around a long table with family and friends, or simply linger outside with a book as the evening settles in.
Also located on the ground floor, adjacent to the main living area, is a separate study that can easily be adapted as a guest room if required. A storage or utility room, technical room and spacious garage allow the practical aspects of everyday life to remain conveniently separate from the main living spaces.
Upstairs, the lively atmosphere of the ground floor gives way to a more private part of the home. This level accommodates the bedrooms, walk-in wardrobes and bathrooms. The principal bedroom, complete with its own walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, forms a private retreat, creating a clear distinction between shared family life and personal relaxation.
The architecture combines clean, understated forms with light-toned volumes, natural wood and expansive glazing. The development is designed as a cohesive and carefully landscaped environment, complemented by decorative planting. There is also an option, available at an additional cost, to individually design and install a private swimming pool. The house meets the A++ energy efficiency standard.
Living in Kalnėnai offers a balance between tranquillity and convenient access to the city. The HALSO development is located approximately 5 km from Vilnius Cathedral, with schools, shops and sports facilities nearby. For those who enjoy spending time outdoors, Ribiškės and Pavilniai parks, as well as Lake Nemėžis, are all within easy reach.
