Renovated 4LDK Family Home in Otaru's Quiet Residential Area
This charming two-story house, built in 2004 by Tsuchiya Home, is located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Sakura 3-chome in Otaru, Hokkaido. The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation completed in August 2025, ensuring a move-in ready condition for immediate occupancy. The renovation included the complete replacement of the bathroom, toilet, washbasin, plumbing pipes, and water heater. All interior rooms feature new wallpaper on walls and ceilings, and the exterior has been refreshed with work on the outer walls and roof.
The equipment list is extensive, featuring two toilets, a bathroom of one 'tsubo' or larger, a washbasin with a shower attachment, a system kitchen, double-glazed windows, lighting fixtures, a monitor-equipped intercom, a dimple key security system, and both water supply and sewer systems. Special notes highlight the property's location in a quiet residential area and its eligibility for the housing loan tax reduction. The price includes consumption tax and all renovation costs. The property is a corner lot facing northeast, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
The layout is a spacious 4LDK. The living-dining-kitchen (LDK) area is approximately 16.2 'jo' (tatami mats), and there are three additional Western-style rooms. Each room comes with storage. Parking is available for two standard-sized cars, consisting of one built-in garage with an electric shutter and one front parking space. The garage interior has been cleaned and the shutter repainted.
The area of Otaru is famous for its historic canal district, a reminder of its past as a major port city during the herring boom. A major landmark nearby is the Otaru Canal, a beautifully preserved waterway lined with old stone warehouses, many of which have been converted into museums, shops, and restaurants, offering a picturesque and historic atmosphere just a short drive from this peaceful home.
