Spacious Eight-Room Traditional Home with Unique Layout in Kanazawa's Historic Zaimoku-cho
This distinctive second-hand detached house offers a generous and flexible living space across eight rooms, centered around calming Japanese-style tatami rooms. The property features a unique layout with a workshop on the first floor and a Western-style room on the second floor, providing dedicated space for hobbies or work. A key feature is the expansive, versatile 'doma' (earthen-floored entryway) that seamlessly connects the outdoors with the interior, perfect for storing bicycles, outdoor gear, or even serving as a workshop, hobby space, or potential shopfront.
The property is equipped with an all-electric system, reducing fire risk as it uses no gas for cooking or hot water. The kitchen boasts a spacious 6.3-jo (approx. 10.4 sqm) counter area, ideal for cooking enthusiasts. The home includes a system kitchen, IH cooktop, bathroom with reheating function and dryer, shower-equipped vanity, washlet toilet, walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, TV monitor door phone, and underfloor heating. Additional features noted by the agent include being barrier-free, south-facing, and having parking available. A special note mentions there is an unregistered architectural portion (2nd floor toilet and hall), but it does not violate the building coverage or floor area ratio regulations.
Located in the atmospheric Zaimoku-cho district of Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, this home is within walking distance of daily conveniences. The area is rich in history and culture, being part of a city renowned for its well-preserved Edo-period districts, samurai residences, and traditional crafts. A major landmark just a short distance away is the iconic Kenroku-en Garden, considered one of Japan's three most beautiful landscape gardens, offering stunning seasonal scenery throughout the year.
