Compact and Secure Apartment in Itabashi, Tokyo
This one-room apartment, located in the Lions Mansion Tokiwadai building in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, offers a compact and private living solution. The property features a total floor area of 17.01 square meters (approximately 5.14 tsubo) and includes a 2.97 square meter balcony facing southwest for natural light. Built in June 1988, this reinforced concrete (RC) building stands five stories tall, with this unit situated on the first floor. The monthly fees are 10,210 yen for management and 3,360 yen for the repair reserve fund.
Key equipment and features include a shoe-in closet, air conditioning, optical fiber internet readiness, an indoor washing machine space, lighting fixtures, a refrigerator, an auto-lock building entrance, a monitor-equipped intercom, city gas, hot water supply, an elevator, and a bicycle parking area. Special notes highlight that there is no building directly in front, providing privacy, and the exterior is tile-clad. The distance to adjacent buildings is over 2 meters. A critical remark states that the owner currently resides in the UK, making an interior viewing impossible. Viewings will be arranged upon the owner's next visit to Japan. The agent also notes they can assist with post-purchase rental recruitment and rent collection management.
The Itabashi area is a residential part of Tokyo known for its local charm and accessibility. An interesting local fact is that Itabashi is home to the Joren Falls, a small but historically significant waterfall mentioned in Edo-period literature. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic and stunning Rikugien Garden, a traditional Japanese landscape garden in Bunkyo Ward, easily accessible from the area and offering a serene escape from city life.
