Spacious Traditional Home in a Quiet Nagahama Neighborhood
This substantial property, located in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture, offers a rare opportunity to own a classic Japanese home on a generous plot of land. The house itself is a two-story wooden structure built in January 1959, with a total floor area of 365.36 square meters (approximately 110.52 tsubo). The layout is designated as 10SDK, indicating ten rooms plus service areas, providing ample space for a large family or versatile use.
The property's significant land area of 828.38 square meters (approximately 250.58 tsubo) is a key feature. It is situated on a corner lot with road frontage on two sides. To the north, a 6.3-meter-wide public road provides 43 meters of frontage, while to the west, a 3-meter-wide public road provides 19 meters of frontage. The land is flat and designated for residential use. A notable point is that a setback of 9.50 square meters is required, which is a common regulation for corner lots to ensure visibility and safety. The property is located within a quiet residential area.
Equipment and utilities include propane gas and electricity. The home also features an indoor space designated for a washing machine. Parking is available on-site.
Nagahama City is a historic area on the eastern shore of Lake Biwa, Japan's largest lake. The city is famous for its beautifully preserved Kurokabe Square, where traditional merchant houses now host glass studios and cafes. A major landmark is Nagahama Castle, a reconstruction overlooking the lake, which houses a local history museum and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area.
