About this home

Seventy-five years of Hokkaido timber, still standing; two storeys, 57 sqm, built 1951 when they knew how to frame a house.

It'll need work, but the bones are there to restore.

Area and hazard data

Hazards and ground
Earthquake code
Caution
Built before the 1981 earthquake code. Expect a structural survey, harder mortgages, and a retrofit budget; towns often grant part of that cost.

Flood risk

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.
