Renovated Osaka Townhouse with Modern Amenities and Minpaku Potential
This recently renovated two-story wooden townhouse in Osaka's Nishinari Ward presents a turnkey opportunity for investors or owner-occupiers. The property, built in November 1995, underwent a comprehensive renovation in June 2024, which included a complete overhaul of the interior (floors, walls, ceilings, and fittings) and all water-related facilities (kitchen, bathroom, toilet, washbasin area, water heater, and drainage pipes). The result is a modern, move-in-ready home with a 3SDK layout offering three rooms plus a combined dining-kitchen area across a total floor area of 47.07 square meters.
Key features and equipment translated from the agent notes include a system kitchen, counter kitchen, both IH and gas cooking capability, a bath with reheating function and dryer, a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet, walk-in closets, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and underfloor heating. The property is also listed as all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and includes a parking space. Other noted amenities are public water supply, city gas, sewer system, a dedicated bath and toilet, a two-burner gas cooktop, hot water supply, air conditioning, a space for a washing machine, a balcony, hardwood flooring, an independent washroom, and included lighting fixtures. The land is a regular-shaped plot.
A notable point is that the property is currently being operated as a minpaku (private lodging), indicating its proven potential for short-term rental income. The location is highly convenient, just a 7-minute walk from Nishi-Tengachaya Station on the Nankai Electric Railway Shiomibashi Line. The area offers daily necessities within a short walk, including a convenience store 210 meters away and a supermarket 330 meters away.
The Nishinari Ward area is a vibrant, densely populated part of Osaka known for its down-to-earth atmosphere and excellent access to the wider city. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Tennoji area, just a short train ride away, is home to Shitennoji, one of Japan's oldest Buddhist temples, founded in 593 AD by Prince Shotoku. For a major tourist attraction, residents have easy access to the iconic Tsutenkaku Tower and Shinsekai district, a famous nostalgic entertainment and dining quarter that embodies Osaka's unique character.
