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

About 5 minutes walk from the pier. A peaceful walk uphill leads to this two-story wooden house. While the access road is narrow, the house itself has the spacious, relaxed quality typical of Niji island homes, centered around tatami mat rooms. Seven DK layout. This could be ideal for group use or families of 5 or more. / From the exterior, there are some broken screens visible, but the overall appearance of the house is well-maintained. There is a corrugated metal roof storage space in the rear that may require some work. / The previous residents' lifestyle remains visible throughout the house, but once the furniture is removed, it should become a very clean property. / The standout feature inside is the system kitchen. You could prepare fish caught at Niji island and use the adjacent three tatami rooms for gatherings and entertaining. This could work well. / While not immediately possible, when a buyer appears, furniture and property matters will be organized and disposed of. If you need any items, they may be available through negotiation. / Remarks: When a buyer appears, furniture and property-rights arrangements will be made; no parking available.
