Full description
Sea-close location: Spectacular view of the Toyama Bay and the majestic Tateyama Range. The Tomari district holds a beauty that everyone wishes to move into. The house nestled in a corner of a scenic alley maintains the tranquility of the outside, yet possesses rich and luxurious spaces with completely different 'expressions of silence' in each room. / Curated Property Report: The blue expanse of Toyama Bay and the Tateyama Range towering beyond it. The view that leaves visitors speechless and captures their hearts with the desire to 'live here' exists as daily life in the Tomari district. As evidenced by the scenery from 'Imigure,' a lodging people want to move to in the area, this land's potential is special and incomparable. From the beautiful seaside, stepping into a recessed alley. With little traffic and an ambiance where time flows slowly, the building stands in a corner wrapped in silence and character. Opening the imposing entrance door, you are first greeted by an open atrium and a beautifully polished wooden entrance hall. From the unpretentious fishing town air outside, you are instantly drawn into a quality private space. Here begins a journey through the various 'faces of silence' this house possesses. Opening the shoji screens reveals a Japanese room that naturally straightens your posture. Exquisite carved transoms and tasteful coffered ceilings. The reliable craftsmanship of artisans who cannot be easily replicated today lives here. What exists here is a 'dignified silence', tense yet mysteriously calming. Feeling soft light through the shoji, simply lying back leisurely. Or opening a favorite book. Only birdsong from the mountains behind quietly marks time. Opening the door again from the Japanese room, another silence with a completely different expression awaits. A Western room with wood flooring and nostalgic lighting. And at the wall's edge stands a substantial classic audio system. This room is a 'high-density silence' dedicated solely to things you love and find comfortable. Drop the needle on your favorite record and listen intently to the music flowing from the speakers. Or perhaps reading or watching a film. The luxury of an adult's hidden retreat, forgetting the outside world and diving deep into your inner self, leaves ample room in this space. The spaces supporting daily life also carry this home's gentle and peaceful rhythm. In the spacious kitchen, fresh seafood obtained from your favorite fishmonger, or caught yourself, is handled dynamically. Turning to the bath, deep-green marble-pattern tiles and light-green bathtub create a 'gradual silence' like a hot spring inn. What exists in this home is not merely a 'quiet rural house.' As you move through rooms, your senses pleasantly shift, a gradient of silence. Feeling Toyama Bay's nature close by, choosing your own abundant 'faces of silence' while living in the depths of a scenic alley. Such an irreplaceable seat for life awaits you here.
