Full description
Recently renovated, the exterior has a charming atmosphere. The double-height living room offers a sense of openness far greater than its size. The 2nd floor has great location. The DIY-built cottage is like a hidden retreat with a secret viewing room. / This property is filled with the owner's love and attention to detail throughout, from the exterior to the interior. The building's exterior is very attractive, with the exterior walls freshly painted a bright tone about 3 years ago. The garden has been enjoyed with various handmade touches. The stone paving is like a work of art. The long carport has space for tandem parking and is convenient on rainy days. Opening the front door and stepping through, a double-height living room appears with a high ceiling that feels far more open than its size. The 2nd floor staircase runs through the living room, allowing the family to see each other anytime. Adjacent to the living room is a Japanese-style room that can be used together with the living space if desired. There's also a DIY sunroom that makes it convenient to dry laundry even on rainy days. The 2nd floor has 3 rooms, allowing each family member to enjoy their own time while also gathering in the living room, an ideal layout. The owner is skilled enough in DIY to have built a cottage in addition to the main house. The sunset view from the cottage is very beautiful and is the owner's favorite spot. / The house has had the owner living there until recently, so all utilities are in place. However, the interior shows some age-related wear. Since the owner has a cat, there are marks on the walls, so please consider renovation as a prerequisite. With that in mind, we hope you'll create your own home-building experience, as the owner has enjoyed with DIY. / The property is located in the Umekane district, which is popular with those seeking to relocate. It's within walking distance of Minahata Elementary School and a private childcare center, making it a convenient location within the community.
