From the listing
Above all, the entrance view is breathtaking. This house stands wedged between Kaburaki and Kabuto peaks. While located in the village settlement, there is ample distance to neighboring buildings. Both the main entrance and rear entrance have parking for about 3 cars each. Behind the main house are a storehouse and a well-proportioned home garden space. The layout features a cross-shaped arrangement of Japanese tatami rooms with a central corridor, plus an additional tatami room on the first floor. The second floor has 3 rooms and an attic room. Each private space can be easily partitioned by walls for privacy and flexible use. First floor tatami room: vacant for about 7 years, but regularly ventilated and well-maintained monthly, so in excellent condition. Ascending to the second floor reveals an open hall with views of Kaburaki peak from the window! The second floor has two adjoining tatami rooms and a 3-mat bedroom. With an attic room available, you could even create an additional room with DIY! Imagine placing this rocking chair in the second-floor hall and gazing up at Kaburaki while gently swaying. The water fixtures are clean but have been in continuous use since the house was built. The hot water heater is broken and scheduled for removal, so a new one will need to be installed. Within Soni Village, many people search for homes with a view of Kaburaki peak. We encourage home searches that prioritize the lifestyle (くらし) you envision after relocating, so we don't recommend making property conditions (すまい) alone the purpose of relocation. Nevertheless, for Kaburaki enthusiasts, this is a must-see property.
