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

Remarks: There is an unregistered storage shed on the southeast corner of the property. In addition to the residence, there is an office (17 yen million, 17 m²) and work buildings on adjacent land owned by the same owner: steel corrugated roofed 2-story (449.18 m²), steel slate roofed 2-story (176.16 m²), steel corrugated 2-story (132.34 m²), wood slate roofed single-story (27.22 m²), and unregistered work building (104.95 m²). Since these office and work buildings are ancillary to the vacant house, we will confirm purchase intentions for these portions with prospective buyers of the vacant house. / Repairs needed: Medium-scale repairs may be required (buyer's responsibility)
