Renovated Family Home in Shijonawate with Modern Upgrades
This two-story, 4LDK house in Shijonawate City, Osaka, is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation, with the price including all remodeling costs and consumption tax. The property is available for viewing even during the renovation work. The house offers ample room for a family, with storage space in every bedroom.
The renovation includes extensive updates throughout. On the second floor, an 8-tatami Western-style room will have wallpaper replaced, floor tiles re-laid, lighting fixtures and fittings exchanged, making it suitable as a master bedroom with good natural light and storage. A 6-tatami room and a 6.5-tatami room will receive similar upgrades, ideal for children's rooms or hobby spaces. A void visible from the second-floor hallway will have new wallpaper and lighting, creating a bright, warm space. The second-floor corridor itself will be refreshed, with light from the void providing natural illumination.
On the first floor, an 8-tatami room is being converted from a Japanese-style room to a Western-style room, allowing direct access from the entrance for use as a guest room. This room includes a walk-in closet with new wallpaper, flooring, and newly installed hanging rods and shelves, perfect for storing guest futons. The living room features large windows, new wallpaper, flooring, and lighting for a bright, open feel. A sunroom accessible from the living room will have its floor painted and can be used for drying laundry or accessing the garden.
The kitchen is being completely replaced with a new system kitchen featuring a three-burner gas hob with a grill and artificial marble countertops that are heat and scratch-resistant. The unit bath is being replaced with a new, spacious one-square-meter (approx. 1.6x1.6m) tub. Two toilets are being replaced with new units featuring stain-resistant finishes. The washbasin vanity is being replaced with a new model featuring a large 75cm-wide bowl and storage behind a three-way mirror. The washroom area is getting new wallpaper, cushion flooring, and lighting. The entrance door is being replaced with a new one, including new locks for security. A new color monitor intercom is being installed for security and convenience.
Additional upgrades include new wide-type light switches, new fire alarms (heat-sensing in the kitchen, smoke-sensing elsewhere) with a 10-year battery life in all rooms, and pruning of the garden plants. The property includes a spacious garden that can be used freely, potentially for vegetable gardening. Parking is available for two cars on the approximately 6.1-meter wide front road.
The property comes with significant guarantees: a two-year warranty covering the three major risks of second-hand homes (leaks, defects/corrosion in main structural parts, and water supply/drainage leaks/failures), and a five-year warranty (from the construction date, for the treated areas only from the construction company) for termite prevention, which includes two free inspections.
The property is located approximately a 33-minute walk from Shirodai Station on the Kintetsu Keihanna Line. The area includes Tawara Elementary School within a 600-meter (approx. 8-minute walk) radius. The house is eligible for the housing loan tax deduction, where 0.7% of the year-end loan balance is deducted for a certain period after purchase.
