Spacious 1LDK Apartment in Koto Ward with Excellent Transport Links
This well-maintained used apartment, located in a quiet residential area of Koto Ward, Tokyo, offers a comfortable 1LDK layout with a spacious feel. The property is situated on the 7th floor of an 8-story building, providing good natural light and ventilation. The total private floor area is 31.63 sqm (approximately 9.56 tsubo), comprising a 4.5-tatami mat Japanese-style room and an 11.0-tatami mat combined living, dining, and kitchen area. The balcony faces south, ensuring excellent sunlight exposure.
The building, Crown Mansion, was constructed in December 1976 by Taisei Corporation. It features a robust SRC (steel-framed reinforced concrete) structure known for its earthquake resistance and durability. The complex consists of two wings—one 8-story building and one 6-story building—with a total of 36 units. The exterior is finished in a bright grey tone. The building faces roads to both the south and west, which contributes to its good sunlight and cross-ventilation. The development includes a bicycle parking area on the premises.
Equipment and features of the apartment include a dedicated toilet, washroom, vanity, system kitchen with a 3-burner stove, city gas, tap water, sewer system, elevator, and bicycle parking. Special notes highlight that the property is on flat land with good sunlight, favorable views, and excellent ventilation. The building is under self-management by the owners' association, with no resident superintendent.
The location is highly convenient, with three stations within walking distance: the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line and Toei Shinjuku Line's Sumiyoshi Station are a 5-minute walk away, and JR Sobu-Chuo Line's Kinshicho Station is a 7-minute walk. The area is residential and family-friendly, with Sumiyoshi Elementary School just a 3-minute walk from Kinshicho Station. An interesting local fact is that Koto Ward is home to the Kiyosumi Garden, a beautiful traditional Japanese landscape garden created in the Meiji period by a wealthy merchant, featuring a central pond, stepping stones, and meticulously placed rocks. The closest major landmark is the Tokyo Skytree, located just across the Sumida River, offering spectacular views and a major shopping and entertainment complex at its base.
