Critical notes from the agent provide essential context. The house was built in 1928 (the 3rd year of the Showa era). It is being sold in its current 'as-is' condition, with many household belongings still present. The original main house is connected to an extension. There are some windows that are broken and have been temporarily repaired with tape. The property has been vacant since approximately December 2021.
