Full description

A 2-story, 6DK property located near the historic Etsu Honmachi Irakagasaki streetscape, with spacious room layout suitable for families. / This 65-year-old 2-story building stands near the Etsu Honmachi Irakagasaki streetscape and has been vacant for 5 years. Etsu Honmachi is located about 2km from the mouth of the Gono River. Historically an important hub for river transport and maritime trade, the area is lined with nationally registered cultural properties including the former Etsu post office and former town hall, and the historic streetscape known as "Irakagasaki" is beloved by visitors from both inside and outside the city. The interior features a spacious layout: first floor has 2 Japanese-style rooms, dining kitchen, toilet, and bathroom; second floor has 4 combined Japanese-and-Western-style rooms. A gas water heater was newly installed in 2019. The toilet features simple flush operation and has been renovated together with the bathroom. Second-floor tatami has been replaced. There is no parking space on the property; nearby rental parking is available. To discuss availability, please consult at time of viewing. Usable furniture is available and will be offered free to interested parties; unwanted items will be removed before handover. Due to administrative procedures, time will be required before occupancy; please discuss move-in timing. / Special notes: IMPORTANT - Part of the land and building is within a landslide-hazard warning zone (Yellow Zone/steep slope area). No parking space on property (rental parking available nearby). / Repair items needed: Water stains on dining kitchen wall / ceiling stains above stairs / partial floor sagging / water fixture renovations as needed
