Renovated 4LDK Home in Nara's Quiet Chiyogaoka Neighborhood
This two-story wooden house, located in the Chiyogaoka 1-chome area of Nara City, Nara Prefecture, is a 4LDK property that underwent a major renovation in November 2018. The home features an all-electric system with an IH stove, eliminating the need for open flames, which is a considerate design for households with small children. The first floor's living, dining, and kitchen area spans approximately 20.3 tatami mats and is equipped with floor heating, providing warmth from the ground up during the cold season. An electric shutter is also installed in the first-floor LDK portion.
The property includes a system kitchen with a water purifier and a dishwasher-dryer to help reduce housework time. The kitchen also features a cup board and a pantry for storing stock items, facilitating organization. The entrance has ample storage suitable for shoes, daily necessities, and outdoor gear. All rooms are equipped with storage, and there is additional hallway storage, making the layout easy to keep tidy. The Japanese-style room of about 5.4 tatami mats uses Ryukyu tatami and includes a butsudan (Buddhist altar), allowing it to be used as a guest room.
The bathroom has a small window to reduce a sense of enclosure and is fitted with a bathroom heating and drying system, useful for drying laundry on rainy days and for preventing heat shock. The washbasin was replaced in November 2018 and includes a three-mirror shampoo dresser. The toilet is a tankless type with a small window, making it easy to clean. The property has a southwest-facing balcony, which facilitates good sunlight and ventilation for drying laundry. In addition to the balcony, there is a roofed terrace where laundry can also be hung. The garden features a brick-style slop sink. Parking is available for two cars (depending on the vehicle type), with one space under a carport. The house also has a heat pump water heater and a monitor-equipped intercom for security.
The property is located about a 5-minute bus ride from Gakuen-mae Station on the Kintetsu Namba/Nara Line, followed by an 8-minute walk from the Gakuen Yamatomachi 2-chome bus stop. It is also accessible via a 29-minute bus ride from Nara Station on the JR Kansai Main Line, followed by an 11-minute walk from the Fujinokidai 1-chome bus stop. Nearby amenities include a convenience store 1,340 meters away and a supermarket 1,730 meters away.
