Draft summary from the listing, not yet reviewed by a founder.

From the listing

Showa-era retro character in a high-potential commercial space: The first-floor shop section was formerly a beloved local café. It retains authentic period atmosphere with tasteful counter and kitchen area, ideal as a base for starting your own café, takeout shop, or atelier. The property includes convenient 3-car parking, accommodating customer visits and commuting. / Excellent sunlight! Spacious residential area: The second-floor living space features a generous roof balcony as its main attraction. Exceptional natural light makes it perfect not just for laundry but for placing table sets for relaxation and enjoying gardening, an open space that significantly enhances quality of life. / Outstanding location with living infrastructure within walking distance: The property's greatest charm is its excellent living environment. Convenience store, post office, and the National Health Insurance Ichimatsu Hospital are all within 500m. Educational facilities from nursery through junior high are nearby, plus the reassuring location outside landslide and tsunami warning zones. Whether starting a business or living as a family, this is an exceptionally convenient and blessed residential environment. / DIY and Renovation Potential (Points to Confirm): This property is offered as-is, with the premise that buyers will make improvements at their own discretion. Regarding floor repairs: the residential floor materials are significantly deteriorated and will require repair before use. Regarding toilet specifications: the shop section has simple flush toilets, while the residential section has a septic tank system. While some areas need attention, for those who want to 'fully renovate to personal taste' or 'enjoy DIY to the fullest,' this is ideal material.
