Furthermore, the brick exterior walls offer superior durability, fire resistance, insulation, and energy efficiency. The bathroom is a 1.25 tsubo type with a large custom-made bathtub, perfect for enjoying bath time with children. All Western-style rooms on the second floor are over 8 tatami mats in size, and a 3.7 tatami mat walk-in closet is included, providing confident storage capacity.
The location is highly convenient, with supermarkets and bus stops within walking distance, ensuring peace of mind for retirement living. The agent specifically notes that the location is also appealing for parents in a two-household living arrangement. For use as a combined office/shop and residence, the living space and entrance can be separated. The property is within walking commute distance to TSMC and located in Kikuchi City, which offers free medical care for children.
