Spacious Renovated Home with Large Garage in Muroran
This fully renovated two-story house in Muroran, Hokkaido, offers a unique and versatile living space. The property features a large, integrated garage on the first floor, perfect for storing multiple vehicles, motorcycles, or outdoor and camping gear. The garage is accessible via a shutter, which has been repainted and fitted with new locks, allowing for easy loading and unloading from the south-facing garden.
The second floor is a comfortable 3SLDK layout centered around a spacious 20-jo (approx. 21-jo) LDK. The kitchen is a new, face-to-face counter style, allowing conversation with the living area while cooking. Significant renovations have been completed throughout, including the replacement of flooring, fixtures, wallpaper, and lighting with downlights. A 6-jo Japanese-style room has been converted into a 7.5-jo Western-style room, complete with a newly built 3-jo walk-in closet. The existing tatami room has had its mats re-covered, preserving a traditional relaxing space. The unit bath was replaced with a new one-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) bath with a reheating function boiler, and the toilet is a new unit with a bidet seat. The entrance doors have been upgraded to Hokkaido-specification insulated doors, and the second-floor entrance includes a balcony for drying laundry.
Key equipment and features include a system kitchen, IH cooktop, reheating bath, bathroom dryer, shower-equipped vanity, heated toilet seat, walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, TV monitor intercom, underfloor heating, all-electric setup, barrier-free design with a lift-equipped first-floor entrance hall, south-facing orientation, and parking. The property comes with a 2-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion in major structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks or failures.
The home is located in a quiet residential area of Muroran City. An interesting local fact is that Muroran is a major port city on Hokkaido's Pacific coast, historically known for its steel industry and stunning coastal scenery formed by volcanic activity. The closest major landmark is the iconic Cape Chikyu, a dramatic cliff formation offering breathtaking ocean views, located approximately 6 kilometers from the property.
