Spacious Single-Story Home in Oshu, Iwate with Potential for Renovation
This single-story detached house, built in August 1980, is located in a quiet residential area of Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture. The property benefits from a natural setting dotted with rice paddies and orchards, while also offering convenient access to supermarkets, convenience stores, and banks. Its single-level layout provides excellent usability and is well-suited for seniors or small families. The house features a 3K layout with a total floor area of 66.24 square meters on a generous 248.13 square meter corner plot. The entrance boasts a pleasantly sized garden.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes a separate bath and toilet (B/T), electricity, tap water, a night soil collection system, and propane gas. Critical remarks highlight that the boiler equipment requires replacement. To connect to the sewer system, installation of a septic tank is necessary, for which subsidies are available. Furthermore, any extensions or renovations requiring confirmation applications will need a survey report, though this is not required for a complete rebuild.
The area around Oshu City is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that Oshu was a major center of the Fujiwara clan during the Heian period, leaving a lasting cultural legacy. The closest major landmark is the historic Chuson-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in nearby Hiraizumi, renowned for its stunning Konjikido (Golden Hall).
