Modern Custom-Built Home in the Historic Mejiro Bunka Mura Area of Shinjuku
This three-bedroom, custom-built residence is situated in the Mejiro Bunka Mura area of Shinjuku Ward, an early 20th-century residential development known for its cultural heritage. The property is located on a hill at an elevation of approximately 31.3 meters, offering a stable geological foundation atop the Musashino Plateau, which is composed of Kanto loam. This type of ground is considered less prone to seismic amplification and liquefaction, providing a sense of security against natural disasters. The route to the nearest station is flat.
The interior features a spacious 21.5-tatami-mat living, dining, and kitchen area with a coffered ceiling and indirect lighting, creating an elegant atmosphere. A ceiling-embedded air conditioner is installed in the living room, and an additional air conditioner is present in the 9-tatami-mat bedroom. The entrance, TV wall, and the partition of the living-dining area incorporate Eco-Carat, a material that helps regulate humidity. A glass door separates the living room from the staircase. A shoe-in closet, a pantry with a hide door, and storage behind the TV wall provide ample storage space. The house has more than ten storage locations in total.
The south-facing roof balcony features a wooden deck finish and a water faucet, making it suitable for children's pool play. Measuring 3.38 tatami mats, it offers good sunlight and an open feeling due to the elevated, south-facing location. The flat partition between the balcony and the interior enhances the flow of daily life. The powder room is spacious and includes a two-bowl vanity counter. The bathroom is a one-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) size unit. There are two toilets. A delivery box and security cameras are installed for convenience and safety. The property includes a parking space for two large vehicles in parallel. A small terrace is located on the south side. The property is equipped with public water, main sewer, and city gas. The building is a two-story wooden structure completed in August 2024. The land rights are freehold. The property is located in a Category 1 Low-Rise Residential Zone, a designation that covers only about 6.8% of Shinjuku Ward.
