Renovated Detached House in Kanazawa's Goshomachi Area
This two-story wooden detached house located at 79-5 Goshomachi Tora, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation. The property sits on a terraced site, creating a height difference with neighboring land. The renovation plan includes converting all rooms to Western-style rooms, resulting in a 3LDK layout. On the second floor, two adjacent Japanese-style rooms will be combined into a continuous Western-style room. The first-floor 6-tatami Japanese-style room will be integrated into the living room as a Western-style room, with new wall and ceiling cloth, flooring, entrance door, and lighting. The 8-tatami Western-style room next to the entrance will also receive similar updates. On the second floor, the 6-tatami Japanese-style room will become a Western-style room with a closet, and the central 8-tatami room and adjacent 7.5-tatami room will also be converted to Western-style rooms with closets. The kitchen will be replaced with a Lixil system kitchen, and the existing kitchen location will be changed to create a new open-plan LDK. The bathroom will be replaced with a Houstec unit bath featuring a spacious 1-tsubo (approximately 1.6m x 1.6m) bathtub. The entrance door will be replaced with a new sliding door, and a monitor-equipped intercom will be installed for security. The existing washroom will be relocated and expanded, with a new washing machine and vanity unit. The toilet will be replaced with a Janis brand unit with a warm water bidet function. A new shoe box with a handleless design and adjustable shelves will be installed. The staircase carpet will be removed and finished with floor tiles. The parking space will be expanded to accommodate three parallel cars by removing the existing carport and garden, adding a grating to widen the entrance. The property comes with public water supply and propane gas. Seismic reinforcement work will be carried out to meet new earthquake resistance standards, potentially qualifying for a mortgage tax deduction if a compliance certificate is obtained. A two-year warranty covers the three major risks of used homes: leaks, structural defects, and plumbing issues. Termite inspection and prevention work will be performed with a five-year warranty. The property is located in a quiet residential area with relatively low traffic volume. It is a 28-minute walk from Higashi-Kanazawa Station on the IR Ishikawa Railway. Nearby amenities include Kanazawa Municipal Kosaka Elementary School (1,400m away), Maruei Kasuga Store (1,700m), and Asanogawa General Hospital (1,700m).
