Spacious 4SLDK Family Home in Himeji with Recent Renovations
This well-maintained two-story wooden house, built in September 1988, offers a generous 105.37 sqm of living space on a 130.14 sqm plot in Himeji's Shiromidai 4-chome. The property features a 4SLDK layout, including a storage room (S), providing ample space for family living. A key highlight is the comprehensive renovation completed in November 2014 (Heisei 26), which ensures modern comfort and convenience.
The agent's notes detail the extensive renovation work: the kitchen and washbasin vanity were replaced; the first and second-floor toilets were exchanged; the bathroom walls were repainted and repaired; the water heater was replaced; wallpaper was replaced throughout all rooms; the entrance door was exchanged; balcony waterproofing work was completed; and the gate was replaced. The property is equipped with a system kitchen that integrates storage space, making cleaning and maintenance easy. It includes a three-burner gas cooktop and a kitchen with a window. The south-east facing LDK is approximately 15 tatami mats in size and features a balcony, ensuring excellent sunlight. All rooms are 6 tatami mats or larger and face south-east. For security, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone provides peace of mind for dealing with visitors. The home also includes a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a shower-equipped washbasin, underfloor heating, and a bidet toilet seat. Utilities are public water supply, city gas, and sewer system. Parking is available for two or more vehicles, with a carport measuring approximately 2.5m wide x 10.5m deep x 2.1m high, accommodating family and guest vehicles with ease.
Located in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, the area is rich in history. An interesting local fact is that Himeji is home to Japan's first UNESCO World Heritage site, the magnificent Himeji Castle, a stunning white fortress often called the "White Heron Castle" due to its elegant appearance. The property is situated within a residential area developed under the old Residential Land Development Act. While the land is within a City Planning Act's "市街化調整区域" (urbanization control area), which generally restricts new construction, the specific development plan for this area permits the rebuilding of dedicated residential houses. The closest major landmark is the iconic Himeji Castle, one of Japan's most famous and beautiful original castles, located approximately 6 kilometers from the property.
