Full description
Located slightly up from the road. The site is spacious and suitable for vegetable gardening! Currently, relatives of the owner manage the property while doing vegetable gardening. / Floor plan consists of two traditional Japanese rooms, making it perfect for singles or couples. / Entrance is charming with attractive fixtures. / This is an 8-tatami room. Was it used as a living room? It has a 2-bay closet in the back, offering plenty of space. / This is a 6-tatami room. Was it used as a bedroom? This one also has a 2-bay closet. / Bathing water is supplied by wood and kerosene heating. / The kitchen water heater is also charming. Water was originally from mountain spring, but has since been disconnected. A simple water pipe installation will be needed. / Toilet is a septic collection type. For comfortable living, installing a treatment tank and converting to a flush toilet would be best. The village of Soni offers subsidy programs for septic tank installation, so please consult about renovation work. The 7-tatami room would work well as a study or library. / There is a large storage shed behind the building. There is plenty of space for drying laundry. / While there are many items left behind and infrastructure work for water and sewage is needed, this is a property with the enjoyment of gradually renovating it to your own liking.
