Spacious Modern Home in Otsu with Open-Plan Living
The interior is defined by its open and airy atmosphere, primarily due to the double-height ceiling in the living and dining area. This design creates a bright and expansive central living space. The open-counter kitchen is well-equipped with a three-burner IH cooktop, a dishwasher, and ample cupboard storage. The home is also rich in storage solutions, including a shoe closet by the entrance and built-in wardrobes. Notable features include a loft space on the second floor, perfect for a hobby room, a 5.7-tatami mat Japanese-style room adjacent to the living area, and a master bedroom with a walk-in closet. The bathroom is fitted with a bath dryer and reheating function, while the toilet has a warm-water bidet seat. The property includes two free parking spaces and an inner balcony, allowing for laundry drying even during sudden rain.
Conveniently located, the home is just a 6-minute walk from Minamishiga Station on the Keihan Ishiyama Sakamoto Line, providing easy access to Kyoto and beyond. The area offers excellent daily amenities, with a 7-Eleven convenience store only 280 meters away and the BRANCH Otsukyo shopping mall within 730 meters. The property is situated in Shiga Prefecture, an area renowned for its beautiful Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake. A notable local landmark is the historic Enryaku-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site located on Mount Hiei, which offers stunning views and a deep connection to Japanese Buddhist history.
