Spacious 4LDK Family Home with Renovation Plans in Historic Himeji
This charming two-story wooden house, built in May 1963, offers a generous 4LDK layout across approximately 89.64 square meters of living space. Situated on a 109.00 square meter plot in Himeji City's Shirokuni 3-chome, the property presents a solid foundation for comfortable family living. A key feature is the planned renovation scheduled for completion in January 2028 (Reiwa 8), which will comprehensively update the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and washbasin, alongside replacing all wallpaper and flooring, and applying a fresh coat of exterior paint.
The property is well-equipped for modern convenience. The kitchen features a system kitchen with a counter and an IH cooking hob. The bathroom is fitted with a reheating function and a bath dryer, ensuring a warm bath is always available. Additional amenities include a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet seat, a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and underfloor heating. The home is also noted for being barrier-free and south-facing, promoting accessibility and ample sunlight.
Essential utilities include public water supply, city gas—which is noted for being relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly—and sewerage. The property comes with the valuable benefit of a parking space for two or more vehicles (subject to vehicle type), providing ample space for family and guests. The land rights are freehold (ownership), and the current status is vacant, allowing for immediate viewing.
Located within a 14-minute walk from Nori Station on the JR Bantan Line, the area offers excellent connectivity. Himeji is a city steeped in history, most famous for Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most spectacular and well-preserved feudal castles. This stunning white structure, often called the "White Heron Castle," is a premier tourist attraction drawing visitors from around the globe. The property's location provides a peaceful residential setting while remaining within reach of this iconic landmark and the vibrant city center.
