Renovated Lightweight Steel House in Ibaraki, Osaka
This fully renovated detached house in Ibaraki City, Osaka, offers a modern living space within a solid lightweight steel structure. The property underwent a comprehensive renovation in April 2020 by a major house manufacturer, transforming it into a home that feels almost new. The renovation included a complete overhaul of all water-related areas—kitchen, bathroom, washbasin, and toilet—and a layout change from 3LDK to 2LDK, though it can be reverted to a 3LDK configuration with partition work.
The interior features a bright, south-facing living room with a double-height ceiling, fostering an open and airy atmosphere. The kitchen is a highlight, equipped with a built-in dishwasher, a system kitchen with integrated storage, and a countertop that allows for interaction with family while cooking. The flooring throughout has been replaced with solid wood, and the walls feature a plaster finish. The property also boasts a spacious doma (traditional entryway) area, offering versatile usage possibilities. Additional features include underfloor heating, a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, a system bath with reheating function and dryer, and a shower-equipped vanity. The house utilizes city gas, which is relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly, and is equipped with solar panels (4.6kw) and a storage battery for efficient power use. The exterior received a roof replacement and repainting, and the landscaping was updated to include two parallel parking spaces.
Located in the Yamatedai area of Ibaraki City, the property is positioned in a quiet residential neighborhood. The area is well-served by local amenities, with a supermarket and a park within a 13-minute walk. For a major cultural excursion, residents can easily visit the iconic Osaka Castle, a historic landmark and popular tourist destination approximately a 30-minute drive away, offering a glimpse into Japan's feudal past and beautiful park grounds.
