Historic Meiji-Era Home in Sano with Renovation Potential
According to the agent's notes, several critical points must be considered. The property does not meet the current road frontage requirements, making it impossible to rebuild on the site. The sale includes all remaining items on the property, and it is sold 'as-is' with a disclaimer for defects liability. The property boundaries are not explicitly marked. The existing propane gas company contract must be transferred to the new owner. Importantly, the exact construction date of the building is not registered; the provided date of January 1868 is based on the fixed asset tax assessment records, and there is also a record of an extension built in 1966 (Showa 41). The property features two toilets, a bath with reheating function and auto-bath system, a bathroom with a window, lighting fixtures, propane gas, electricity, and public water and sewer connections. A special note highlights that the home benefits from two-sided sunlight exposure.
The home is conveniently located within a 7-8 minute walk from Sano Station, served by both the JR Ryomo Line and the Tobu Sano Line. The immediate neighborhood offers everyday amenities like convenience stores, banks, and a city hall. For cultural enrichment, the area is home to the Higashiishi Art Museum, located just 189 meters away. Sano is also famous for its high-quality ramen, a local specialty known as "Sano Ramen," which attracts food enthusiasts from across the region. A major nearby landmark is the historic Sano Premium Outlets, a popular shopping destination set in a picturesque, park-like environment.
