Full description

A must-see for ocean lovers! Right in front of Namiko Beach! A 2-story house built 73 years ago. / Introduction: This is a 2-story property located on the national highway at the west end of Gotsu City, Namiko Town. The beautiful Namiko Beach, popular among ocean lovers, spreads out right in front. The blue sea, sunset sinking into the sea, and spectacular Japan Sea views create a beautiful landscape. The house, built in 1952, has four traditional Japanese-style rooms on the 1st floor and two compact rooms on the 2nd floor, totaling 6 rooms, providing ample space for families. The toilet was renovated 5 years ago and is now water-flush. The kitchen does not have a hot water function; this will be the responsibility of future residents. The roof was re-shingled 30 years ago. There are water stain marks on the ceiling above the washbasin, but there is currently no active leaking. / Special notes: The property will be handed over after the removal of household items. The property does not meet road frontage requirements; setback is necessary for reconstruction. Details will be explained on-site during viewings. / Repair areas: Water stain marks on the washroom ceiling and other issues
