Renovated Family Home in Noboribetsu with Comprehensive Upgrades
This spacious two-story wooden house in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, is currently undergoing a full renovation to offer a comfortable and modern living space. The property, built in October 1997, features a 3SLDK layout with a total floor area of 112.59㎡ on a 178.05㎡ corner lot. The renovation, scheduled for completion in March 2026, includes extensive interior and exterior work. The exterior will receive new roof and wall coatings, and some window glass will be replaced. The garden area will be converted into a parking space, and the existing built-in garage will be demolished to expand the parking area, accommodating two or more vehicles.
Inside, the home is being comprehensively refreshed. The living-dining-kitchen (LDK) area, a generous 18.75 tatami mats in size, will have new flooring, wall coverings, and lighting fixtures, including downlights. The kitchen is being replaced with a brand new system kitchen from Eidan Sangyo, featuring a stylish artificial marble countertop that is heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean. It includes a three-burner hob, a stainless steel sink with a quiet design, and a faucet with a pull-out nozzle and built-in water purifier. The bathroom will be upgraded to a new 1-tsubo (approx. 1.6m x 1.6m) unit bath from LIXIL with excellent drainage, and the toilet will be replaced. The water heater will be exchanged for a new model with a reheating function for consistently warm baths. All rooms, including the first-floor Japanese-style room (with re-surfaced tatami) and the second-floor Western-style rooms, will receive new wall coverings, flooring, and lighting. The entrance door will be replaced with a cold-resistant Hokkaido-specification model, and the vestibule (windbreak room) will have its lock replaced, providing storage for winter gear. The company offers a two-year defect warranty covering issues like leaks and structural defects, provided after a thorough inspection.
The property is located in a quiet residential area of Noboribetsu, a city famous for its spectacular hot spring resort, Noboribetsu Onsen, which is one of Hokkaido's most popular tourist destinations. The area is rich in natural beauty, with the nearby Jigokudani ("Hell Valley") offering dramatic volcanic landscapes and hiking trails. The home is conveniently situated within walking distance of local amenities, with Noboribetsu Elementary School 900m away and Noboribetsu Junior High School 650m away.
