Spacious Detached House in the Quiet Yamate District of Kitahiroshima
This detached house, located in the tranquil Yamate district of Kitahiroshima City, Hokkaido, offers a generous 4LDK layout across two stories. Built in November 1981, the property sits on a sizable, well-shaped plot of land with a wide frontage of 14.5 meters, allowing for multiple parking spaces. The house itself has undergone significant renovations, including a complete interior and exterior refresh in April 2013. This included new wallpaper in all rooms and a full renovation of the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, washbasin area, and water heater. The oil-fired water heater was subsequently replaced with a new model in 2023.
The property features a spacious entrance, a living room, and multiple rooms on the first floor, including a Japanese-style room and a Western-style room, both with good sunlight. The house is equipped with modern amenities such as a system kitchen, a shower-equipped vanity, a toilet with a bidet seat, a monitor intercom, a double-lock door, a dimple key, fiber-optic internet readiness, and city gas. The land is flat and faces an 8-meter-wide public road to the west. A notable feature is the presence of a garden, a storage shed, and a garage space for one car, with additional open-air parking for another. The garden area could also potentially be converted into further parking if needed. The agent notes mention a height difference on the rear side of the property adjacent to the neighboring land.
Kitahiroshima is a suburban city known for its peaceful residential areas and natural surroundings. An interesting local fact is that the city was a major site for sugar beet production in Hokkaido during the Meiji era, contributing significantly to Japan's early sugar industry. The area offers a blend of quiet living with convenient access to shopping facilities like MaxValu Kitahiroshima. For recreation and tourism, residents are within a reasonable distance of the popular Shikotsu-Tōya National Park, famous for its caldera lakes, hot springs, and volcanic landscapes.
