Spacious Renovated Family Home with Extensive Grounds in Himeji
This expansive property in Himeji's Jonan Shinmachi district offers a rare combination of generous living space and a vast plot of land. The house, originally built by the renowned Ichijo Komuten, has undergone a comprehensive renovation and is now presented as a certified "Anshin R Jutaku" (Safe R Housing), having passed a rigorous building inspection for defects and seismic safety. The renovation included a complete overhaul of the interior and exterior, with all-new fixtures and fittings installed in December 2025.
The property's most striking feature is its approximately 200 tsubo (689.47 sqm) plot, providing ample space for multiple vehicles, a carport, or even a separate guest house. The home itself is a spacious two-story wooden structure with a total floor area of 233.00 sqm. The layout is designed for family convenience, featuring a bright, south-facing orientation and a practical floor plan. The kitchen has been newly fitted with a TAKARA "Remue" system, offering comfortable workflow and large-capacity storage. A utility room adjacent to the kitchen is perfect for storing bulk groceries. The home is all-electric, featuring an IH cooktop which reduces fire risk and makes cleaning easier.
Key renovations include a new TAKARA "Gran Spa" bathroom with a heat-retaining structure and easy-clean features, and a new, tankless, water-saving toilet on both floors. The entrance hall is grand and welcoming, featuring a new impressive double-door and a spacious shoe cabinet. The independent 11-jo living room offers a quiet, high-quality space. A second-floor laundry area eliminates the need to carry heavy laundry up and down stairs, and a walk-in closet provides excellent storage. The property also boasts an electric sliding gate for convenient vehicle access.
The location is convenient for daily life, with a supermarket within a 3-minute walk (230m). The area is part of Himeji City in Hyogo Prefecture, a region steeped in history. A major landmark nearby is the iconic Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most beautiful and well-preserved feudal castles, located approximately 4 kilometers from the property. The home comes with a 5-year defect liability insurance (kashi hoken) for added peace of mind.
