Renovated Family Home with Ample Parking in Kobe's Mizutani District
This fully renovated 4LDK detached house, built in 2005, offers a comfortable and secure living environment in the quiet residential area of Mizutani, Kobe. The property has been comprehensively refurbished, including a thorough inspection of the subfloor, and comes with significant warranties for peace of mind. The three major risks of used homes—roof leaks, defects/corrosion of major structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks or failures—are covered by a 2-year guarantee. Furthermore, a termite damage survey and preventive construction have been completed, backed by a 5-year guarantee from the construction company for the treated areas.
The home features a bright, open-plan layout with all rooms facing southeast for excellent sunlight. The entrance boasts a high ceiling, creating an airy first impression. The approximately 14-jo (25.3 sqm) living room is connected to a Japanese-style room via fusuma sliding doors and features a counter kitchen with an IH cooktop, allowing the cook to interact with family. The kitchen is a system kitchen, making cleaning and maintenance easy. The property includes two toilets (one on each floor), a shower-type washbasin counter, and a 1-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) unit bath with a bath dryer. Bedrooms include a 6.5-jo (approx. 10.5 sqm) south-facing western room on the second floor with two-sided lighting and a walk-in closet with hanging rods. A second-floor balcony faces southeast, ideal for drying laundry. Additional features include underfloor storage, flooring throughout, a monitor-equipped intercom, and a small exterior space suitable for planter-based gardening after shrub clearing.
The property offers exceptional parking for a family, with space for three cars in a tandem arrangement, including a carport for two vehicles. The parking area is approximately 2.7 meters wide and 15 meters deep, accommodating family-sized cars. The location is convenient, with Marunaka Mizutani store approximately 850m (an 11-minute walk or 2-minute drive) away. The area is part of Kobe's Nishi Ward, known for its blend of residential calm and accessibility. A notable nearby landmark is Akashi Castle, a reconstructed historic castle located a short drive away in central Akashi, offering panoramic views of the Akashi Strait and home to the Akashi Municipal Astronomical Science Museum.
