Renovated 3DK House in Himeji with Southern Exposure and Modern Amenities
This charming two-story wooden house, built in 1965 and located in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, offers a comfortable living space with a total floor area of 62.14 square meters on a 98.18 square meter plot of land. The property features a 3DK layout and has undergone a comprehensive renovation in February 2025 (Reiwa 7), which included replacing the kitchen and washbasin, exchanging the water heater, re-wallpapering the DK, washroom, toilet, staircase, and one of the 6-tatami Western-style rooms on the second floor, as well as installing new flooring over the existing floors in two second-floor Western-style rooms. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate handover.
According to the agent's notes, the house is equipped with a system kitchen, a counter kitchen, an IH cooking hob, and a gas stove. The bathroom features a reheating function and a bath dryer. The washroom has a shower-equipped vanity, and the toilet includes a bidet seat. Indoor amenities consist of a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and underfloor heating. Key features of the property are that it is all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing for excellent sunlight, and comes with a parking space. Other equipment includes public water supply, city gas, and sewer systems. A special note mentions an unregistered extension on the second floor: a 9-tatami mat (approximately 16.75 square meters) Western-style room.
The location is convenient, situated approximately 4 minutes on foot from the Hiranominamiguchi bus stop after a 16-minute bus ride from JR Himeji Station on the Sanyo Main Line. Within a 290-meter radius (a 4-minute walk), there is a convenience store and a drugstore, making daily shopping easy. The area is also home to Himeji City Hirohine Elementary School. The property is in a First Category Medium-to-High-Rise Residential Exclusive Zone within a city planning area.
The surrounding Himeji area is rich in history and culture, famously dominated by Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most spectacular and well-preserved feudal castles. Its brilliant white appearance and elegant architecture have earned it the nickname "White Heron Castle."
