Spacious Modern Family Home in a Quiet Setagaya Neighborhood
This detached house, built in May 2018, offers a contemporary and spacious living environment in the desirable Hanegi area of Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. The property features a generous total floor area of 114.44 sqm (approximately 34.61 tsubo) arranged in a 2SLDK layout. The standout feature is the expansive Living-Dining-Kitchen (LDK) area, which exceeds 23 tatami mats in size, providing an open and bright central living space. The three rooms separate from the LDK are independent, offering flexible usage for bedrooms, studies, or guest rooms. A substantial storage room of about 10.1 tatami mats includes a walk-in closet, ensuring ample storage. The entrance is kept tidy with a shoe-in closet, and the living-dining area is equipped with underfloor heating for year-round comfort. All living rooms benefit from two-sided natural light. The property includes one car parking space (subject to vehicle type) and additional space for bicycles.
The home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood characterized by low-rise housing. It boasts excellent access to multiple train lines, being just a 5-minute walk from the Keio Inokashira Line's Higashi-Matsubara Station and a 9-minute walk from the Keio Line/Inokashira Line's Meidaimae Station, providing a direct 10-minute train ride to the terminal Shinjuku Station. The trendy Shimokitazawa area is also within walking distance. For car access, the property is conveniently close to the Kan-nana Route, Koshu Kaido, and the Eifuku Interchange.
According to the agent's special notes, the property is situated in a quasi-fire prevention zone, a buried cultural property containment area (Matsubara Hanegi-dori Site), a land readjustment and construction regulation zone, and is subject to the Cultural Properties Protection Law and a landscape planning area. These designations are important considerations for any future renovations or construction work on the land.
The surrounding area is family-friendly, with Hanegi Park and Setagaya Ward's Matsubara Elementary School within a short walk. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Hanegi Park is famous for its extensive grove of over 700 Japanese apricot (ume) trees, which create a spectacular bloom every February and March, attracting many visitors. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Meiji Jingu Shrine, a vast forested Shinto shrine in Shibuya, easily accessible via the nearby train lines.
