A Spacious Wooden Home in Kyoto's Northern Hills
This property is a detached wooden house built in February 1996, located in the Okitayama Haratani Inui-cho area of Kyoto's Kita Ward. With a generous total floor area of 95.84 sqm (approximately 28.99 tsubo) on a 41.20 sqm (12.46 tsubo) plot, the home offers a 4DK layout. The interior breakdown includes Japanese-style and Western-style rooms of 6, 6, and 8 tatami mats, plus a 9.3-tatami mat service room, providing ample and versatile living space. The land is freehold ownership, and the property includes a free parking space.
The home is equipped with propane gas, side gutters, and electricity. Important special notes for the property include its location within several zoning and regulatory districts: it is in an Outdoor Advertisement Regulation Category 3 Area, a 15m Category 3 Height District, the Haratani Special Industrial Zone, a Residential Inducement Area, a Suburban Improvement Area, a Land Readjustment Work Regulation Area, and the Northern District of the Yamaroku-type Building Scenic Area.
Situated in the serene northern part of Kyoto City, the Kita Ward offers a quieter, more residential atmosphere compared to the bustling city center. An interesting local fact is that the area is home to several historic temples and is nestled against the mountains that form Kyoto's natural northern border. The closest major landmark is the famous Ryoan-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its enigmatic karesansui (dry landscape) rock garden, located a short distance away.
