Spacious and Recently Renovated 3LDK Apartment Steps from JR Seta Station
This bright and well-appointed 3LDK apartment, located on the 4th floor of a 7-story building, offers a fantastic opportunity for convenient living in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation completed in December 2025, ensuring a modern and move-in-ready condition. The renovation included a complete renewal of the kitchen, vanity sink counter, and toilet, along with new wallpaper in the LDK, washroom, Japanese-style room, Western-style rooms, and hallway. New flooring (CF) was installed in the LDK, washroom, each Western-style room, and the entrance. Additional upgrades include re-covering the tatami mats, re-papering the sliding doors (fusuma), new outlet plates, a new TV intercom/door phone, new baseboards, and a full house cleaning.
The apartment features a spacious 72.12 sqm (wall center) floor plan with a 5.4 sqm southeast-facing balcony, providing ample space for laundry and relaxation. The layout includes a bright, south-facing living-dining-kitchen area, three separate bedrooms (including one Japanese-style room), and separate bath and toilet facilities. The unit is equipped with a three-burner gas stove, system kitchen, unit bath (replaced in August 2019), washlet toilet, and a vanity with plenty of storage. Building amenities include an elevator and a bicycle parking area.
The location is exceptionally convenient, just a 2-minute walk from JR Seta Station on the JR Tokaido-Sanyo Main Line, providing easy access to Kyoto, Osaka, and beyond. The agent's notes highlight that the surrounding area is well-equipped with supermarkets, convenience stores, banks, and other essential facilities, making daily life and commuting very easy. The property is currently vacant, and the agent encourages interested parties to feel free to inquire about arranging a viewing on their preferred date.
The area around Seta Station is a vibrant suburban hub. An interesting local fact is that Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake, is a defining feature of Shiga Prefecture's landscape and culture, offering year-round recreational activities. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Ishiyama-dera Temple, located a short train ride away. Founded in 749 AD, this temple is famously known as the place where Murasaki Shikibu is said to have begun writing "The Tale of Genji."
