A critical special note for this property, referenced as B21848-001996, states: "This property does not front a road as defined by the Building Standards Act with a width of 2 meters or more, therefore, rebuilding is not permitted." This is a crucial legal constraint that prospective buyers must be aware of, as it means the existing structure cannot be demolished and rebuilt. The property is offered for sale under an exclusive intermediary agreement.
The location offers excellent convenience, being just a 9-minute walk from "Kitaurawa" Station on the Keihin-Tohoku and Negishi Lines, providing direct access to central Tokyo and Yokohama. The area around Urawa is known for its blend of residential calm and urban amenities. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Urawa Komaba area was historically a post town on the Nakasendo road, one of the five major routes of the Edo period. The closest major landmark is the historic Kawagoe area, often called "Little Edo," which is easily accessible and famous for its well-preserved kura (warehouse) buildings from the Edo period.
