Fully Renovated Family Home in Hofu, Yamaguchi
This spacious 5LDK detached house in Hofu's Jiyugaoka 3-chome has been completely renovated, with work completed in January 2026. The property sits on slightly elevated land, offering privacy from the street. The renovation includes a brand-new system kitchen, designed for comfortable cooking times, and a counter kitchen that allows for communication with family while preparing meals. The entrance features movable shelves for enhanced storage capacity.
The interior has been refreshed with white-toned flooring and walls, making the 16-tatami mat living room feel even brighter and more spacious. The unit bath has also been replaced with a new one, complete with a window for proper ventilation. All toilets, which come into direct contact with the skin, have been replaced with new units, and there are toilets on both the first and second floors for the convenience of larger families. The washbasin is also new, and its location next to the kitchen ensures smooth movement within the home.
Key equipment and features include a system kitchen, counter kitchen, IH cooktop, gas cooktop, bath with reheating function and dryer, shower-equipped washbasin, bidet toilet seat, walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, TV monitor doorphone, and underfloor heating. The property is all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and comes with a parking space. Other amenities include public water supply, city gas, sewer system, dedicated bath and toilet, three-burner stove, indoor washing machine space, flooring, and lighting fixtures. Security equipment is installed, and there is a power generation and hot water system. The living room and Japanese-style room feature double-glazed windows.
The layout is practical, with a distinctive Western-style room featuring a triangular ceiling. An 8-tatami Western-style room includes a walk-in closet (WIC) with a hanging pipe so clothes can be stored without folding. A 6-tatami Western-style room also has a closet. The Japanese-style room next to the living room has had its wallpaper changed and can be used as an independent room by closing the fittings. There is also under-stair storage. The property includes a sunny garden, which could be used for BBQ or as a play area for children. Parking is available for two cars, albeit in a tandem arrangement, and includes a free carport.
The area offers convenient daily living. A 7-Eleven convenience store is within a 13-minute walk (1040m) for grocery shopping, parcel pickup, and ATM use. Supermarkets like Cosmos (1250m) and Sun Mart (1680m), and a drugstore (1250m) are also within walking distance. For a notable local attraction, residents can visit the Hofu Tenmangu Shrine, one of Japan's three major Tenmangu shrines, dedicated to the scholar Sugawara no Michizane and known for its beautiful plum blossoms and important cultural artifacts.
