Renovated 3LDK Family Home in Kobe's Serene Kita Ward
This fully renovated two-story house in Kobe's Kita Ward offers a comfortable and secure family lifestyle. The property is a 3LDK layout with a total floor area of 84.24 sqm, built in February 2009. A comprehensive renovation was completed in March 2026, ensuring modern living standards and peace of mind.
The renovation included a complete kitchen replacement with a new system kitchen and countertop setup, perfect for entertaining while cooking. The approximately 17.5-jo (tatami mat) LDK features new wallpaper. The bathroom was replaced with a new unit bath of a spacious 1-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) size, and the toilet and washbasin vanity were also newly installed with new wallpaper and cushion flooring. Wallpaper was replaced throughout all rooms, the entrance, and staircase, and a handrail was added to the stairs for safety. The exterior walls and roof have been repainted, improving both aesthetics and rainwater durability.
Key equipment and features include a system kitchen, IH cooktop, bath reheating function, bathroom dryer with heating to prevent heat shock, shower-equipped washbasin, heated toilet seat, walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, TV monitor intercom, and underfloor heating. The property is all-electric. All rooms feature double-pane glass for superior insulation and soundproofing. The house includes a generous 7.5-jo storage room on the second floor with a pipe for hanging clothes, and additional hallway storage. The master bedroom on the second floor has a balcony facing southeast, ideal for drying laundry.
The property comes with significant guarantees for buyer security. The three major risks of used homes—roof leaks, defects/corrosion of major structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks/failures—are covered by a 2-year warranty from the date of handover. Furthermore, a termite prevention treatment has been performed with a 5-year guarantee from the construction date (for the treated areas only, guaranteed by the construction company). The seller, a listed company, thoroughly checks and renovates properties to its own standards.
The location in Kimikage-cho is a quiet residential area with low traffic on the front road, making parking easier. The property includes a garden and space for two cars parked side-by-side. Convenient amenities are within walking distance, including a Co-op store (12 min walk) and a 7-Eleven (5 min walk). The nearest station, Suzurandai on the Kobe Electric Railway Arima Line, is a 12-minute walk away.
The Kobe area is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting fact is that Kobe's port was one of the first to open to foreign trade in the 19th century, shaping its international culture. For recreation, residents can easily visit the nearby "Shiawase no Mura" (Happiness Village), a large park and recreational complex offering camping, barbecues, and various sports facilities, located approximately a 15-minute drive from the property.
