Full description

【Price changed!】Furniture cleared! Near bus stop! Spacious garden-attached, compact single-story property. / Introduction: ◎A compact single-story property built 50 years ago in a residential area on the seaside of Waki-cho, across from the national highway. ◎Four Japanese and Western-style rooms each have ample storage space. ◎A roofed laundry space next to the entrance. Two access points allow for ventilation. ◎Possible to have a home vegetable garden in the spacious garden. An outdoor storage shed is convenient for storing work tools. ◎Some exterior wall damage was repaired in April 2026. ◎Convenient location with medical facilities, convenience stores, drugstores, and restaurants within 1km. ◎The access is narrow and vehicles cannot enter the property; however, there is a bus stop 160m away, so public transportation is convenient for long-distance travel. / Special notes: Does not meet the road frontage requirement; rebuilding would require setbacks in two directions. / Repairs: Tatami and sliding door replacement, some floor sagging, water heater replacement (currently 2011 model installed; usability unknown), and other items to confirm on-site during viewing.
