A Comfortable Machiya in the Desirable Kamogawa East Area
This property is a fully renovated Kyoto machiya located in the highly desirable Kamogawa East area of Sakyo Ward. The neighborhood offers a perfect balance of convenience and tranquility, with the lush nature of the Kyoto Imperial Palace and the Kamo River nearby, alongside scattered historical buildings. The immediate surroundings are a quiet residential area with essential amenities like a post office and supermarket within easy reach. A key feature is the excellent access to the bustling Shijo Kawaramachi district.
The machiya underwent a complete renovation in May 2024. Structural reinforcements were made, including replacing beams and pillars for earthquake resistance. All window glass is YKK's safe laminated double-glazing. The property is equipped with modern conveniences for comfortable living, including an auto-lock front door, motion-sensor automatic lighting, and a bathroom dryer. Having been used as a second home, the frequency of use has been low, leaving both the interior and exterior in excellent condition. Numerous appliances and furnishings are already installed and ready for use.
