A Spacious Two-Generation Home in Yahaba, Iwate
This substantial property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-appointed, two-generation home in a quiet residential area of Yahaba, Iwate Prefecture. Built in July 1997 by Hokushu Housing, the house offers a generous 316.42 sqm (approximately 95.71 tsubo) of living space across two stories, with a layout configured as 9LDK. The expansive 1249.20 sqm (approximately 377.88 tsubo) land parcel provides ample outdoor space and privacy.
The property is equipped with air conditioning, two toilets, a bath area of one tsubo or larger, a counter kitchen, double-glazed windows, a high ceiling void (吹き抜け), a garden, and a walk-in closet. Special notes detail its corner lot position with road frontage to the southwest (6m wide, public road) and southeast (public road). The location is within a quiet residential neighborhood, includes parking for three vehicles, and is specifically designed to accommodate two generations living together.
The interior layout is thoughtfully designed for multi-generational living. The first floor features a 5LDK configuration plus a walk-in closet and a food storage pantry, while the second floor offers a 3LDK layout. Details include an entrance hall with a void and wainscoting, a living room, a sunroom dining area with a face-to-face kitchen, two adjoining Japanese-style rooms with an engawa veranda, and wooden handrails on the stairs. The kitchen is an L-shaped, face-to-face design, and the home also includes a washroom/laundry room, a reception room, a bathroom, a work shed, and a carport.
Yahaba Town in Iwate Prefecture offers a blend of rural charm and accessibility. An interesting local fact is that the town is home to the 'Iwate Prefectural Budokan,' a major martial arts hall that hosts national-level kendo and judo tournaments. The closest major landmark is the historic Morioka Castle Ruins (Iwate Park) in the prefectural capital, a scenic site famous for its cherry blossoms and stone walls, located within a reasonable drive.
