From the listing

Out-of-prefecture migrants receive renovation subsidies from municipalities / Year-round comfortable living environment; this house's greatest charm is the comfort created by skillfully utilizing natural forces. / Sloped roof without snow accumulation + energy-efficient snowmelt system: A system heating only drainage outlets, reducing running costs. Even when outside temperatures exceed 30°C in summer, the indoor is so cool that air conditioning isn't needed. In winter, insulation-renovated double-glazed windows keep it warm, and floor heating (approximately 6 tatami × 2 rooms) is complete, allowing comfortable living while minimizing heating and cooling costs. / Living with well water: Delicious water and zero water bills. Since well water is used, no water charges apply. Cool water in summer, warm water in winter make household chores comfortable. The well pump has been replaced with a new one. The mineral-rich water quality provides a gentle bath like natural hot springs without the need for bath additives. Summer cleaning is "refreshingly cool." / Water facilities are a major point of peace of mind: The unit bath was renovated about 10 years ago with over 1 yen million invested, making cleaning easy, with ventilation fans and humidity control. Both toilet and bathroom have complete ventilation equipment. The shower faucet was damaged in a cold snap but is a minor repair fixable for under 30,000 yen. / Equipped facilities and reassuring maintenance history: High-end FF kerosene stove and oil water heater for comfortable kitchen work. New air conditioner / new locks. City gas and sewerage. Tatami and sliding doors are clean (in good condition as the family lived here). Includes Skypa antenna. Additionally, underfloor inspection by Duskin has been completed. Termites: none confirmed / Parking, garden, and future enjoyment: Parking space available (paved). There is unpaved space in the back suitable for a vegetable garden. A prefab building previously used to raise chickens is present. Demolition cost approximately 200,000 yen to 250,000 (can be arranged individually) / Disaster-resilient urban location: As an urban area, disaster recovery is fast, recovery took only 2 days during the Great East Japan Earthquake. The dead-end road means only residents and delivery personnel pass through, creating a quiet environment with good security and peaceful residential atmosphere. / Excellent location with high-quality living convenience: Within walking and driving distance: Max Valu, Yamada Denki, Tsuruha Drug, convenience stores, gas stations, hospitals and multiple care facilities, rotary sushi restaurants, food shops and bento shops, banks, bookstores, GEO, coin laundries, elementary school, and community center. No difficulty with daily life. / Regarding renovation: Areas that may need attention in the future: toilet, kitchen, shower faucet, roof snowmelt heater (for snow management). However, contractor-renovated properties tend to be overpriced. It's far more economical to renovate only the parts you truly need. Already has approximately 6 yen million worth of renovations and equipment updates. The well water pump etc. have been replaced. The shower mixer is scheduled for replacement. / For DIY and renovation enthusiasts: A house to cultivate to your taste. Already renovated including exterior walls, roof, bathroom, and windows worth approximately 6 yen million. Just finish the kitchen and toilet to your preferences. More suitable for those wanting to invest effort only in truly necessary areas rather than overpriced contractor-renovated properties. / For energy-conscious and nature-oriented residents: Live in harmony with nature in an energy-efficient home. With well water, zero water bills. Cool water in summer, warm water in winter. Mineral-rich water quality provides a gentle bath like natural hot springs without additives. Reduce utility costs while being kind to both body and household budget. / For seniors and parents' generation: A secure home near the city center and hospitals. Hospitals, care facilities, and supermarkets are nearby, offering convenient living. The dead-end road provides quietness, and disaster recovery is fast in this area. Recommended for those wanting to spend their later years with peace of mind. / Viewings welcome, please inquire. As it is a vacant property, viewings are possible anytime. Once you see it in person, I think you will realize this house conveys livability beyond what photos and text can express. Please feel free to contact us.
