This distinctive American-style detached house, located just a 6-minute walk from JR Konan-Yamate Station, underwent a comprehensive renovation in October 2025, presenting a fresh and modern living space. The property's unique character is immediately apparent from its mint green exterior walls and a striking red front door, creating a vibrant and welcoming first impression.
The home features a 3LDK layout with a total floor area of 65.95 square meters, including an approximately 13-square-meter built-in garage.

The property includes a 12.9-tatami mat Western-style room on the basement level, which features a light well for natural light and good air circulation, and a separate 9.3-tatami mat Western room. An 8-tatami mat Japanese-style room has been refreshed with new tatami mats, giving it a like-new appearance.
