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

One-story 3LDK property. The property is situated along a prefectural road with well-developed sidewalks. The space in front of the entrance was formerly a shop. Currently used as a tool storage area, but the spacious layout allows for various possible uses. The living room is immediately upon entering. There are no major areas requiring repair, allowing immediate use. A toilet is located immediately beside the entrance. Sufficient time has not passed since renovation, so the interior is in clean condition. / Surrounding information: High traffic volume due to proximity to prefectural road / Remarks: ○Preferential current-state handover ○Furnishings and movables already cleared. ○The eaves overlap with the neighboring house eaves, requiring improvement (will be addressed per semi-fireproof district regulations; costs subject to separate discussion) ○Currently not possible to park a vehicle near the entrance (former shop space) (parking may become possible through entrance ramp construction, but details must be confirmed on-site)

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.
