Charming 1930s Wooden Home in Sakai, Osaka
This property is a distinctive two-story wooden house built in January 1935, located in the Higashishimon-Higashimachi 2-chome area of Sakai's Kita Ward, Osaka Prefecture. The home offers a 4DK layout across a total floor area of 54.54 square meters, situated on a land plot of 50.87 square meters. The property is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the JR Hanwa Line's Sakaishi Station, providing excellent access to the wider Kansai region.
According to the agent's notes, the property is sold in its current condition ('現状有姿渡し'). The registered land area on the title deed is 59.90 square meters. The sale is subject to a disclaimer of liability for non-conformities in the contract (契約不適合責任免責). The road fronting the property is classified under Article 42, Paragraph 1, Item 3 of the Building Standards Act, but it is confirmed that rebuilding is possible. However, as this is a terraced (連棟) property, consent for separation and potentially for excavation will be required for any future reconstruction. Importantly, inheritance registration for the property is not yet completed; this registration will be finalized before the handover to the new owner.
The area of Sakai is rich in history, famously known as the birthplace of the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi. A major landmark nearby is the iconic Osaka Castle, a historic fortress surrounded by beautiful parklands, easily accessible via the train network from Sakaishi Station. The neighborhood itself is well-serviced with daily amenities, including an Izumiya supermarket and convenience stores within walking distance.
