Modern and Convenient Wooden Home in Kyoto's Historic Fushimi Ward
This recently constructed wooden three-story house, built in January 2025, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly new home in the culturally rich Fushimi district of Kyoto. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate occupancy. The residence features a functional and spacious 3LDK layout with a total floor area of 81.81 square meters, situated on a 58.08 square meter plot of land. A key highlight is the inclusion of a counter kitchen, allowing for interaction with family and monitoring of children while preparing meals.
The property is equipped with a comprehensive range of modern amenities. The kitchen features a system kitchen setup with an IH cooktop. The bathroom is fitted with a reheating function and a bath dryer. Additional interior comforts include a shower-equipped washbasin vanity, a washlet toilet seat, a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped door phone, and underfloor heating. The home is designed with barrier-free access and features a south-facing orientation. It also comes with a free parking space for one vehicle. Utilities are served by public water supply, city gas (noted as being relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly), and sewer systems.
Special notes on the property indicate it falls under quasi-fireproofing regulations and is located within a landscape preservation, hillside-type building scenic area. It is also within a Category 2 Height Control District (15m), an Outdoor Advertisement Third Category Zone (Fushimi/Yamashina area), a residential inducement area, and a buried cultural property zone (site of Fushimi Castle). There is also a private road burden of 8.47 square meters.
The location is exceptionally convenient, just a 2-minute walk from Sumizome Station on the Keihan Main Line, providing excellent access to central Kyoto and Osaka. The surrounding Fushimi area is famous for its sake breweries and historic sites. An interesting local fact is that Fushimi is one of Japan's oldest sake-producing regions, thanks to the pristine water from the Fushimi underground spring system. The closest major landmark is the iconic Fushimi Inari Taisha, one of Kyoto's most important Shinto shrines, renowned for its thousands of vibrant red torii gates, located just a short train or bus ride away.
