Renovated Family Home with Spacious Garden in Hokuto, Hokkaido
This charming two-story wooden house, built in 1983, is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation to become a move-in ready 4LDK family home in the quiet residential area of Kunebetsu, Hokuto City, Hokkaido. The renovation includes a complete transformation of the interior and exterior, ensuring a fresh and modern living space.
Key equipment and features being updated include a brand new system kitchen with a countertop design, a new one-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) LIXIL unit bath with a drying function and reheating capability, a new Janis toilet, and a new Panasonic AWE washbasin with a shower. The property is all-electric and includes features such as a TV monitor doorphone and underfloor heating. The renovation also covers the replacement of the front door, shoe box, boiler, lighting fixtures, and the installation of new fire alarms. The layout is being optimized, with one first-floor Japanese-style room receiving new tatami and wallpaper, while another is converted to a Western-style room. All second-floor rooms will feature new flooring and wallpaper.
Externally, the work includes roof and exterior wall painting, parking lot expansion to allow for two side-by-side parking spaces, and the removal of a warehouse and landscaping to create a more spacious and usable garden. An outdoor water tap is installed for convenience. The seller provides a 2-year warranty covering major risks like leaks, structural defects, and plumbing failures. A separate 5-year warranty is provided for the termite prevention work.
The location offers excellent daily convenience, with the Co-op Sapporo Hokuto supermarket just a 5-minute walk (350m) away. The property is a 3-minute walk from the Kunebetsu Station on the Donan Isaribi Railway. The area is part of the scenic Shiribeshi region of Hokkaido, known for its stunning coastlines and agricultural produce. A notable nearby landmark is the historic Goryokaku Fort, a star-shaped western-style citadel in nearby Hakodate, which is a popular tourist destination and a symbol of the region's unique history.
