From the listing

Well-located condominium 10 minutes walk from Sendai Station. Purchased as a second home in 2020 and used by a family attending university. The owner plans to sell following a job relocation to Tokyo. The asking price is as shown below. Currently vacant, so transfer can be arranged at any time. The standout feature of this property is its location. At 10 minutes walk from Sendai Station, with the Anpanman Museum and offices nearby. Located on the 13th floor of a 14-story SRC (steel reinforced concrete) building with excellent views and a quiet environment. The building has two elevators and a newly installed mailbox. The management association is of high standard. Although the condominium was built in 1984, the structure and management are in good condition. Unusually for the Sendai Station area, the site is very spacious and includes parking. While the interior has undergone partial renovation including wooden flooring changes, the bathroom and plumbing areas would benefit from additional renovation for greater comfort.
