Stargazing Roof Balcony Apartment with Dual-Sided Balcony in Yamagata
This unique apartment offers a rare combination of features, highlighted by a stargazing roof balcony and a dual-sided balcony design that allows fresh air to flow freely through the home. The property is a 1LDK layout with a total private floor area of 47.93 sqm (approximately 14.49 tsubo). It is located on the 2nd floor of a 14-story reinforced steel and concrete (SRC) building constructed in February 1991.
The apartment has undergone a full renovation scheduled for completion in February 2026. This comprehensive update includes the entire kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and washbasin area, as well as a complete interior refurbishment of floors, walls, ceilings, and fittings, followed by a full house cleaning. Key equipment and features include a system kitchen, a toilet with warm-water washlet, a bathroom with dryer and heating, a shower-equipped washbasin vanity, storage space and closets in all rooms, BS antenna terminals, hardwood flooring in all rooms, downlights, and city gas. The unit is a corner apartment with no living rooms directly below it, benefiting from dual-sided natural light. The building offers an elevator, a bicycle parking area (monthly fee of 400 yen), and a motorcycle parking space (annual fee of 2,000 yen). A monthly fee of 200 yen applies for the use of the roof balcony.
Additional building details include a total of 76 units, managed by a fully entrusted management association with a daytime superintendent. The property comes with a two-year defect liability insurance, with the premium borne by the buyer. A parking space is available for a monthly fee of 17,000 yen, though vacancy must be confirmed on a case-by-case basis. The land is zoned for commercial use and is covered under the Land and Building Transaction Law.
The apartment is situated in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture, within a 10-minute walk from the Yamagata Shinkansen station. The area is rich in local culture, famously hosting the vibrant Yamagata Hanagasa Festival, a dynamic summer event featuring thousands of dancers wearing traditional straw hats. The closest major landmark is the historic Yamagata Castle (also known as Kajo Park), a beautifully preserved site with a reconstructed castle tower and extensive grounds, located just a short distance from the property.
