Affordable Homeownership Opportunity in Kagoshima City
This property presents a rare opportunity for budget-conscious buyers seeking homeownership, aiming to reduce current rental expenses, or considering entry into the rental property market with a low initial investment. It is particularly suitable for individuals with DIY skills. While the building was constructed in July 1981, it remains in a fully usable condition. The property is currently vacant, and the handover timing is negotiable.
Translated from the agent's notes, the property features include a bathroom with a window, city gas, and public water and sewer systems. Special remarks indicate the property is sold in its current 'as-is' condition. It is located within a designated sediment disaster special warning zone and a steep slope collapse danger area. Furthermore, any future rebuilding on the site would require a setback.
The house is a single-story wooden structure with a total floor area of 53.24 sqm (approximately 16.1 tsubo), situated on a land plot of 72.72 sqm (approximately 21.99 tsubo). The layout is a 2SDK, comprising two 6-tatami Japanese-style rooms and a 3-tatami service room. The main living areas face south, and the property includes a garden. There is no dedicated parking space. The land is freehold, zoned as Category 1 Low-Rise Exclusive Residential District within the urbanization promotion area, with a building-to-land ratio of 50% and a floor area ratio of 80%.
The Kagoshima City area offers a rich blend of history and natural beauty. An interesting fact is that Kagoshima is often called the "Naples of the Eastern World" due to its similar climate and picturesque setting with an active volcano, Sakurajima, often seen smoking across the bay. The closest major landmark to this property is the historic Sengan-en Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a stunning example of a traditional Japanese landscape garden dating back to the Edo period.
