Renovated 3LDK Detached House with Private Garden in Nikko, Tochigi
This fully renovated detached house is situated in the Tsuchizawa area of Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture. The property has undergone a comprehensive interior and exterior renovation, transforming it into a comfortable and modern 3LDK home. The layout was reconfigured to create a spacious LDK of approximately 23.5 tatami mats, along with three Western-style rooms. All water-related fixtures were replaced with new units.
The kitchen is a new system kitchen from Housetec, featuring a scratch-resistant artificial marble countertop and a large sink. The unit bathroom is also a new 1-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) type from Housetec, designed for relaxing baths. The toilet was replaced with a Janis Industries model with a warm water washing function, which offers approximately 59% water savings compared to older models. The washstand includes a three-way mirror with storage behind it, where shelf heights can be adjusted in 3 cm increments, and is equipped with LED lighting.
Flooring throughout the LDK is a wax-free type from Eidai Sangyo, chosen for its resistance to scratches and stains. Walls and ceilings have been re-papered, and lighting fixtures replaced. All rooms have storage space, and every room is equipped with an air conditioner outlet and TV jack. The entrance door was replaced, and the entryway tiles were overlaid with 30 cm square tiles. A new shoe box with deodorizing shelves was installed, and the intercom was upgraded to a model with a recording function.
Seismic reinforcement work has been completed, bringing the property up to current earthquake resistance standards. The renovation included an underfloor inspection and termite damage survey, followed by anti-termite treatment, which comes with a 5-year warranty and two free inspections. The property also comes with a 2-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects or rot in main structural parts, and water leaks or failures in water supply and drainage pipes.
Externally, the walls and roof have been repainted, and the vegetation was cleared. A shed on the parking area side was removed, allowing for two tandem parking spaces. The site and parking area have been covered with fine gravel for ease of maintenance. The property features a private garden. It is located on a quiet residential street with low traffic, facing a north-side road, which provides good sunlight. The land is flat and zoned for low-rise residential use.
