Spacious 5DK Home with Panoramic Views and Sunken Garage in Higashi-Osaka
This detached house, built in 1997, offers a unique and private living experience in Higashi-Osaka, Osaka Prefecture. The property is strategically positioned higher than the road, minimizing visibility from passersby and ensuring excellent privacy. A key feature is the sunken garage on the lower level, which protects your vehicle from the sun while maximizing the living space above.
The home boasts a generous 127.80 sqm of floor area across two stories, with a functional 5DK layout. The kitchen features warm wood-grain panels, a three-burner gas hob for efficient cooking, and under-floor storage to keep countertops clutter-free. The spacious sink with a single-lever mixer tap and the flat hob surface, from which the trivets can be removed for easy cleaning, add to the practicality. The bright dining area benefits from large windows. The bathroom is fitted with a soft green bathtub, a window for ventilation, and a shelf for toiletries. The unit also includes a bathroom dryer, useful for drying laundry on rainy days and for ventilating the room after bathing. The washroom is naturally lit and houses the washing machine, creating a smooth routine from undressing to laundry. The washbasin has storage shelves on both sides and a shower-equipped faucet. The toilet, located under the stairs, is designed without a sense of confinement and includes an integrated tank with a hand-washing function.
Storage is ample throughout, with walk-in closets in every room. The Japanese-style room (washitsu) features traditional tatami mats, shoji screens, a tokonoma (alcove), and a decorative tokobashira (alcove post), making it suitable as a guest room. Other rooms have large closets and high windows that allow for flexible furniture arrangement. The property is listed as being in move-in ready condition.
The location in Higashi-Osaka's Kyakubo-cho neighborhood is within a 14-minute walk from both Hyotan-yama and Hiraoka Stations on the Kintetsu Namba/Nara Line, providing convenient access to central Osaka and Nara. The area is a calm residential district without excessive traffic. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Hyotan-yama (Gourd Mountain) area is named after a hill that resembles a gourd, a shape considered auspicious. For a major tourist attraction, the historic Osaka Castle, a magnificent symbol of the city's samurai past, is approximately a 40-minute train ride away.
