Full description

A sky-blue house that blends into the blue sky. Some renovation work has been done in the past. The property has a spacious parking area, which is great. The view of the clear sky from the second floor is wonderful. There is a striking light-blue-exterior house in the residential area of Narutake. My first impression was how beautifully it seemed to merge with the sky. The floor plan is 7LDK+DK. Wouldn't you be excited just hearing those numbers? A property like this is rarely found! Living in a large house does not simply mean having many rooms. It means each person can have their own room, the family can gather in a living room, you can create a hobby room, and you can comfortably welcome visiting relatives and friends to stay. This house is filled with plenty of space to realize such a "rich lifestyle". The first floor has DK, Western-style room, and 2 Japanese rooms; the second floor has LDK (15.5 tatami), 3 Western-style rooms, and 2 Japanese rooms. Since each floor functions as a complete living space, even for two families, the parent generation and children's generation can maintain an appropriate distance, neither too close nor too far. There are entrances for both the first and second floors, making movement convenient, a recommended feature. This floor plan can realize the ideal of "wanting to live with parents eventually, but respecting each other's independence." Even if two families live here, it's still spacious! The second floor underwent major renovation in 1999 (Heisei 11) and is currently occupied, which means it is well-maintained and can be handed over in good condition. Storage capacity in each room is excellent. The first floor has room for renovation, but that's actually an opportunity. For those who want to renovate according to their tastes and lifestyle, or who enjoy DIY, this is a property with real potential. The parking area can accommodate 3-4 cars, so each family member can have their own car without worry. It's nice to have parking space secured for when friends and relatives gather on weekends. With a covered section, it also looks good for DIY work. The surrounding area is a quiet residential neighborhood where children can safely run around. It's the perfect setting for a lively large family to live. A big house deserves big dreams. Why not start your own story in this sky-blue house? / Remarks: Currently occupied
