Solar-Powered All-Electric Two-Generation Home in Tokorozawa
This property is a well-maintained, custom-built two-generation residence located in the Kamiarai 3-chome area of Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture. The home features a practical layout of 3DK plus 3LDK, providing separate living quarters for each household, each with its own water system and Ecocute heat pump water heater. The total floor area measures 183.7 square meters on a generous land plot of 283.17 square meters.
The construction incorporates a 2x4 wooden frame method with a steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) foundation, which uses a heat-storage floor system to resist uneven settlement and uplift. This foundation works in conjunction with a hot-water floor heating system that warms the entire first floor, including toilets and washrooms. The exterior walls are finished with Hebel Power Board, a material known for its durability, fire resistance, and insulation properties.
The property is fully electric and equipped with a solar power generation system. Each household has its own Ecocute unit, which can be paired with the solar system to help reduce utility costs. Parking is available for up to four vehicles with a carport, and the site can also accommodate construction vehicles.
Key interior features include a skylight in the open-ceiling area on the second floor, a spacious south-facing balcony with an eave on the second floor, and a terrace on the first floor with privacy fencing. The first-floor south garden has been used by the current owner for a small vegetable garden. The second floor includes a large attic storage space of approximately 18 tatami mats, accessible via a dedicated staircase, as well as a loft in one of the western-style rooms. All rooms are at least six tatami mats in size. There is a large shoe-in closet (SIC) on the second floor for storing boots, DIY tools, and motorcycle gear.
The property is within walking distance of three train stations: Kotesashi Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line (13 minutes on foot), Nishitokorozawa Station on the same line (20 minutes on foot), and Shintokorozawa Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line (24 minutes on foot). The surrounding area is a quiet residential neighborhood with a supermarket, convenience stores, and parks nearby.
