Spacious Family Home in Matsuyama with Expansion Potential
This charming two-story wooden house, built in 1985, offers a generous 5DK layout with a total floor area of 76.95 square meters situated on a 104.06 square meter plot of land. The property is currently vacant, and the agent specifically encourages potential buyers to arrange a free viewing on their preferred date, stating: "Akiya jissai ni mitai muri go kibou no o hi nado etc., o kigaru ni o toiawase kudasai" which translates to "The property is vacant. If you would like to see it in person for free, please feel free to contact us with your preferred date."
The property features a versatile layout consisting of a dining kitchen (6-jo), three Western-style rooms (7-jo, 6-jo, and 6-jo), and two Japanese-style rooms (8-jo and 6-jo), providing ample space for a family. A notable feature of this home is the presence of an unregistered extension. The agent's remarks, "Zouchiku bubun ari (kenchiku kakunin・zouchiku touki nashi)" meaning "There is an extension (without building confirmation and extension registration)," highlight this important characteristic that buyers should be aware of. The location is also praised for being "Shinai chushinbu made chikai" or "Close to the city center."
Parking is available, and the agent notes that by clearing the garden (which includes the removal of trees and plants), space for one car can be secured. The property is located in a corner position, facing private roads to the east and south, within a First Category Low-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone. The property is conveniently accessible, with a bus stop (Tenyamabashi) a 9-minute walk away and Iyo-Tachibana Station on the Iyotetsu Yokogawara Line within a 19-minute walk.
The surrounding area of Matsuyama is rich with history and culture. A fascinating local fact is that Matsuyama is home to Dogo Onsen, one of Japan's oldest hot spring resorts, famously mentioned in Natsume Soseki's novel "Botchan." The closest major landmark is the majestic Matsuyama Castle, one of Japan's twelve original castles, which sits atop Mount Katsuyama and offers panoramic views of the city and the Seto Inland Sea.
