Renovated Family Home in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture
This two-storey wooden house is situated in the Sugisawa area of Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture. The property is currently undergoing interior renovation works to create a modern and comfortable living environment. The planned layout will transform the ground floor into an approximately 18.5-tatami mat living, dining, and kitchen area by connecting the existing kitchen space with an adjacent Japanese-style room. New flooring will be laid over the existing floors, and new wall and ceiling coverings will be installed throughout.
The renovation includes the installation of a new kitchen unit from Eidai Sangyo, featuring pull-out storage drawers for easy access to cookware. A new unit bath from Housetec will be fitted, offering a spacious bathtub for relaxing half-body baths. The vanity unit will be a new model from Panasonic AWE, equipped with a lift-up faucet and a flexible shower head for convenient hair washing and cleaning. A new toilet from Janis with a warm water bidet function will also be installed, featuring a surface treatment that resists scratches and dirt for easy maintenance.
The property comprises a total of six rooms, with a mix of Japanese-style and Western-style rooms. On the first floor, there is a six-tatami Japanese-style room, an eight-tatami Japanese-style room, and the main living area. The second floor includes an eight-tatami Western-style room, a 6.75-tatami Western-style room, and an eight-tatami Japanese-style room. All rooms will receive new flooring or tatami mat replacement, new wall and ceiling coverings, and new fittings, lighting, and storage units. The entrance hall is spacious, and the staircase features an open, airy design with built-in storage underneath. A carport and additional parking space are available, accommodating up to six standard-sized vehicles. The property also includes a separate garage structure, from which remaining items will be removed.
The house is built on a 537.3 square metre plot with a total floor area of 334.58 square metres. It was constructed in June 1987 and meets new earthquake resistance standards. The renovation is being carried out by a partner company, with experienced craftsmen ensuring quality work. A two-year warranty covers the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects or corrosion in main structural parts, and water leaks or malfunctions in water supply and drainage pipes. A five-year warranty is provided for termite prevention treatment, along with two free inspections. The property is located in a quiet residential area, approximately a 24-minute walk from Shimoyuzawa Station on the Ou Main Line. The neighbourhood includes Yuzawa Higashi Elementary School and Yuzawa Kita Junior High School within about a 15-minute walk, and the Grand Mart Yuzawa Interchange store is roughly a six-minute drive away. The property is in a first-class residential zone with a building coverage ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
