Spacious Modern Family Home in Iwaki's Tranquil "Nataka-gi" Development
This well-appointed detached house, built in May 2012, offers a comfortable and modern living environment in a peaceful residential area of Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. The property features a generous 3SLDK layout with a total floor area of 112.62㎡, providing ample space for family life. The land size is a substantial 285.51㎡, offering plenty of outdoor potential.
The property is equipped with a comprehensive range of modern amenities for convenience and comfort. These include an IH cooking heater, a bidet toilet seat, a bathroom dryer, and a bathtub larger than one tsubo (approx. 3.3㎡) with a reheat function. The kitchen is a stylish counter type, and the home comes with lighting fixtures installed. For energy efficiency and comfort, it features double-glazed windows and a 24-hour ventilation system. Practical storage solutions are abundant, including under-floor storage and a walk-in closet. Security and convenience are enhanced by an intercom with a TV monitor.
A key feature of this property is its location within the "Nataka-gi Danchi," a housing development created through land subdivision in a City Planning Area of Adjustment. While this classification imposes regulations on the types of buildings that can be constructed (primarily detached houses, certain residential-commercial buildings, and apartments) to maintain a good residential environment, it also offers significant financial benefits. Properties in an Adjustment Area are exempt from the annual City Planning Tax that applies in Urbanization Areas. Furthermore, the Fixed Asset Tax is kept low, with a reference amount of 74,000 yen for the fiscal year Reiwa 7 (2025).
The area of Iwaki City is part of Fukushima Prefecture's coastal region, known for its dramatic coastline and recovery spirit following the 2011 earthquake. An interesting local fact is that Iwaki is home to the Spa Resort Hawaiians, a massive hot spring theme park complex that is one of the largest of its kind in Japan and a major tourist draw. The closest major landmark from the property is the Joban Line's Yumoto Station, a gateway to the area's famous hot spring resorts.
