Location

This marks an approximate area, not the exact building. The circle is a rough radius from the listing's published address, so you can see the neighbourhood without us guessing at a precise spot.

Full description

This property is located near Chuo Shingakudo IC (central expressway) and Echizen Takehara Station (Echizen Railway), at the northeast corner of a spacious plot with a wide frontage that is easy to use. There is also a garden space on the south side. Additionally, a garage and storage shed provide convenient storage. Although the property has been vacant for 3 years, the owner maintains it, so the interior is clean. The toilet, hallway, and kitchen (flooring) have been renovated.

A pre-1981 build predates Japan's current earthquake code, which can matter for insurance and renovation. We flag the era from the year built where we have it.
