A notable feature is the approximately 200 square meters of south-facing land that can be utilized as a vegetable garden.

It has a total floor area of 146.47 square meters (44.3 tsubo) with a 3DK layout plus a storage room. The building materials emphasize the use of solid wood. The property is currently vacant and ready for immediate occupancy, having been well-maintained through periodic visits.
According to the agent's notes, the property's facilities are connected to Tohoku Electric Power, public water supply, city gas, and public sewerage. Key features highlighted are its suitability for a two-generation household or even rental use, and its convenient location for going anywhere.

The area is part of the historic Joetsu region, associated with the famed warlord Uesugi Kenshin. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Myoko mountain range, visible from the property, is part of the Joshin'etsukogen National Park, a vast area renowned for its volcanic landscapes, ski resorts, and hiking trails. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Mount Myoko (Myokosan), one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains and a premier destination for skiing and outdoor activities.
