Charming 2DK Property in the Historic City of Kamakura
This detached wooden house, built in January 1922, is located in the Zaimokuza area of Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, in a quiet residential district that retains the atmosphere of the old castle town. The property offers a living space of 41.78 square meters on a generous land area of 198.41 square meters, which includes a 26-square-meter alley-like portion. The layout is a 2DK, featuring a southern veranda (engawa) that extends across the front, providing good sunlight exposure.
The property is a one-story wooden structure with a black-painted exterior that gives it a calm and subdued appearance, fitting for the ancient capital of Kamakura. Inside, the rooms have a Western-style modern feel, with one room having been converted to a 4.5-tatami mat Western-style room. The kitchen is bright, and the bathroom, which is over 50 years old, has been maintained. The washbasin has been newly replaced, and the toilet is in a bright room with a window. The ceiling features a design that is rarely seen in modern construction. The property is connected to public water mains and a public sewer system, and uses individual LPG for gas. There is no dedicated parking space.
The location is convenient, with Zaimokuza Beach just a 5-minute walk (400 meters) away, and the Drugstore Create Zaimokuza store 7 minutes (550 meters) on foot. The nearby Kotsube Iijima Park (900 meters) offers a jogging course with seasonal views, and the area is known for its tranquility, with the sound of birds in the morning. The property is situated with a north-facing road width of 2 meters, and a setback of approximately 3 square meters is required. Due to a portion of the land (approximately 12.09 square meters) being leased to a neighboring property, the frontage cannot be secured to 2 meters, meaning the building cannot be reconstructed. The area is subject to landscape law regulations and is in a scenic district. The property is within a 3-minute walk (200 meters) of Kukon-ji Temple and a 20-minute walk (1,600 meters) from Zushi Marina.
