It offers a generous 4K layout, providing four rooms plus a kitchen/dining area, with a total building area of 73.21 square meters. The home sits on a spacious 241.00 square meter corner plot, offering privacy and potential for expansion or gardening.
The property's equipment and facilities include electricity, a septic tank (汲取), propane gas, and public water supply.
