Spacious Family Home on a Sloping Lot in Kamakura

This detached house, built in June 1977, offers a generous living space of 175.66 sqm (approximately 53.13 tsubo) with a 5SLDK layout, ideal for a large family. The property is situated on a substantial plot of 550.97 sqm (approximately 166.66 tsubo) in the desirable and historic city of Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture. The location provides excellent convenience, being just a 4-minute walk from the Shonan Monorail's "Kataseyama" Station.

Critical agent notes provide essential details about the land and construction requirements. The property includes a sloping area of 280.85 sqm. Rebuilding on the site is generally not permitted; however, if permission is obtained under Article 43, Paragraph 2, Item 2 of the Building Standards Act, reconstruction may be possible. The terrain is sloped, and there is a separate garage of 14.52 sqm. A storage shed of 7.22 sqm was newly built in August 1994. Importantly, because the property is located below an unretained cliff on the neighboring land, any new construction would require the main structural parts of the building to be of reinforced concrete (RC) construction.

The property is located within an Urbanization Area and is zoned as a Category I Low-Rise Exclusive Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 40% and a floor area ratio of 80%. It includes parking and is currently occupied by the owner.

The area of Kamakura is renowned as a former political capital of Japan, filled with ancient temples and shrines. A major landmark nearby is the iconic Great Buddha of Kamakura (Kotoku-in), a monumental outdoor bronze statue that is a symbol of the city and a designated National Treasure.
