A Traditional Home with Modern Touches in Kyotango
This property is a kominka, or traditional folk house, located in the Morimoto area of Omiya-cho, Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture. The home offers a unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary updates, featuring a partially DIY-renovated modern room that harmonizes comfortably with the traditional atmosphere. The property includes a separate annex and a storehouse (kura), providing ample space for hobbies or storage. The spacious garden is large enough to enjoy barbecues, allowing residents to spend leisurely time surrounded by nature.
The main house is a single-story structure with a 4LDK layout. The property also includes a two-story earthen storehouse (total area 26.44 sqm) and a barn (31.07 sqm) as attached buildings. The annex was newly built in August 1975 and is a two-story wooden structure with a tiled roof, comprising 52.50 sqm on the first floor and 45.57 sqm on the second floor. The property is equipped with a kerosene boiler for hot water supply. A notable feature is the potential for a vegetable garden, as the listing notes that home gardening is possible. The property has access to a sewer line on the front road, though the connection to the site itself has not yet been drawn in.
The location offers a quiet environment and convenient access, being just a short drive from the Omiya Interchange on the expressway. This home presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of traditional Japanese architecture with the flexibility for modern living and gardening.
