A Private Retreat in Kyoto's Shogoin Neighborhood

This property, built in 1959, is a traditional Japanese house located on a private alley in the Shogoin Higashimachi area of Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City. The house offers a nostalgic and retro atmosphere, with a floor plan where eight rooms are gently connected. The interior retains period details such as a small engawa (veranda) and glass fittings, with a retro kitchen. The property sits on a 199.07 square meter plot with a total floor area of 95.62 square meters (based on the registry), though a current simple tape measure indicates the first floor is approximately 57.10 square meters and the second floor approximately 46.92 square meters, for a total of about 104.02 square meters. The building is a two-story wooden structure with a layout of 8 rooms plus a kitchen (8K). Utilities connected include city water and sewer, city gas, and electricity. The property faces a public road of approximately 6.9 meters to the east, with a frontage of about 4.1 meters. The land is zoned for Neighborhood Commercial and Category 1 Medium-to-High-Rise Residential use. The building is aging and requires repairs before use. The property is being sold as-is, and the furnishings shown in photos are not included. It can also be considered as land for rebuilding. This is a direct sale from the owner, with no brokerage fee required.
