Full description
Property Reporter's Note: The exterior retains a nostalgic, settled Showa-era charm. Yet stepping inside reveals a pleasant surprise, the essential utilities are in remarkably good condition, ready for immediate use. Parking is also well-secured: one space in the garage, plus room for another vehicle, perfect for couples with two cars or stacking DIY tools and materials. A luxury of doing things yourself: among all home-building projects, kitchens, bathrooms, and toilets (water systems) are typically the most costly and labor-intensive. This property retains these facilities in relatively clean condition, maintaining livable quality without major infrastructure work. This means you can devote all your energy and budget to design-focused renovation and DIY, painting walls your favorite color, choosing lighting you love, reimagining the tatami room. Low barriers, high standards: this home holds plenty of delicious blank space. The Kubo area, while having some newer residential districts, is primarily agricultural and feels like a peaceful countryside town with good livability. Station, town center, sea, all at just-right distances: the balance is exquisite. Access to Himi Station and the city center is good, offering convenient shopping and mobility, yet a short walk reaches the sparkling Toyama Bay. Enjoy quiet, enriched private time, morning coastal walks, tinkering with your car in the garage. "Painting slowly while you live here": With a solid base, there's no need to rush completion. Live here, grow accustomed to the land's character, and gradually shape it to your taste. Begin your own home-building story in peaceful Himi.

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.
