A Spacious Family Home in a Tranquil, Green Setting
This detached house, located in the Sumiyoshidai area of Higashinada Ward, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. The property is positioned on high ground, providing excellent views and sunlight. On clear days, the second floor offers a view of the sea and the cityscape of Kobe. The lush greenery and tranquil environment provide a gentle respite from urban life.
The house features a bright, welcoming entrance with wood-toned fittings and a high ceiling with a window that lets in pleasant light, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
