Renovated 1935 Home with Investment Potential in Yokosuka
This property is a single-story detached house built in January 1935, located in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The home has undergone a comprehensive renovation around 2019, leaving it in a very clean and beautiful condition. The renovation included the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and washroom, as well as full interior work (floors, walls, ceilings, and fittings) and exterior work (exterior walls and roof).
The layout is a 3LDK, consisting of three Western-style rooms (8-tatami, 6-tatami, and 6-tatami) plus an 11.5-tatami LDK (living-dining-kitchen). The property faces south and includes a garden. Key equipment includes a bidet toilet with reheating function, a bathroom with a window, a 2-burner stove with grill, storage in all rooms, two or more air conditioning units, flooring in all rooms, storm shutters, shutters, lighting fixtures, propane gas, electricity, and water and sewer connections. Special notes indicate the property is in a sediment disaster special warning zone and a steep slope collapse danger zone. There is an unregistered extension (54.54 sqm on the official register) and a well on the premises.
Notably, this property is suitable for use as an income-generating investment. An estimated annual rental income of 1,176,000 yen (monthly 98,000 yen) is projected, suggesting a surface yield of 12%. The land area is 152.55 sqm with a building area of 64.26 sqm. Parking is available nearby for 6,000 yen per month. The location offers access to both the JR Yokosuka Line (Taura Station, 13-minute walk) and the Keikyu Main Line (Keikyu Taura Station, 18-minute walk).
The area of Taura in Yokosuka is a historic port district with deep connections to the Japanese navy. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Taura Bay was once a major base for pearl cultivation in the late 19th century. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mikasa, a pre-dreadnought battleship preserved as a museum ship in Yokosuka, offering a direct link to Japan's maritime history.
