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
A house built by the great-grandfather (second-class architect). ※ Except for the extended section, we hear it was constructed entirely of hinoki (cypress). While not technically a traditional folk house, the bedroom on the 2nd floor still has the atmosphere of the early Showa era. Also, you can see the garden from the 8-tatami room on the 1st floor, and in summer, the cool breeze from the garden flows pleasantly into the room. / Repairs needed: Roof tiles are deteriorated with water leaks in 2 locations (emergency protection with sheets applied) • Electric hot water heater for hot water supply has failed • Indoor water pipes are unusable / Special notes: This is quite an old building, and demolition is being considered, but for now, if there are people interested in this property, I would like to offer it, so I registered it in the akiya bank. The repair-needed areas we are currently aware of are as listed in the table above, but it is expected that there may be other areas requiring repair. No repairs will be made by the seller, and we request that the sale be as-is in current condition, with the seller bearing no responsibility for contract incompatibility (former warranty of defects, etc.). Additionally, some household items remain as they are. It may take time for transfer/handover.

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.
