Spacious 2K Apartment in Edogawa, Tokyo with Recent Renovations
This property is a 27.89 sqm (approx. 8.43 tsubo) 2K apartment located on the top (3rd) floor of the Shinozaki Mansion in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo. Built in March 1971, this reinforced concrete (RC) building offers stability and a total of 24 units. The apartment's layout includes a 6-tatami Western-style room, a 4.5-tatami Western-style room, and a 3.5-tatami kitchen area, providing comfortable living space. A 4.1 sqm balcony with a southeast-facing exposure offers pleasant natural light.
Key features and equipment translated from the agent notes include: it is on the top floor, which means fewer pests flying in (recommended for those who dislike insects) and no noise from above. The property uses propane gas and has a free bicycle parking area. Special remarks note that the contract is for the property 'as-is' with no warranty for non-conformities, pets are not allowed, a major renovation of the building was completed in June Reiwa 5 (2023), and interior renovations including flooring and the toilet were completed in September Reiwa 6 (2024).
The apartment is well-situated in a residential neighborhood with convenient access to daily amenities. Several supermarkets and convenience stores, such as Olympic Shimo-Shinozaki and My Basket Shimo-Shinozaki-cho, are within a short walking distance. The area is served by the Toei Shinjuku Line's Shinozaki Station, approximately a 16-minute walk away, with bus options also available. An interesting fact about Edogawa Ward is that it contains the longest administrative boundary of any of Tokyo's 23 wards, following the course of the Edo River for nearly 60 kilometers. The closest major landmark is the historic Kameido Tenjin Shrine, famous for its wisteria trellises and a picturesque drum bridge, located a few stations away on the JR Sobu Line.
