Spacious 4LDK Family Home in a Quiet Hokkaido Neighborhood
This well-maintained detached house in Shibetsu, Hokkaido, offers a comfortable 4LDK layout ideal for families. The property features a bright, south-facing living room of approximately 18 tatami mats, which connects to a 6-mat Japanese-style room, creating an open and versatile space for daily living and entertaining. The home includes a total of four bedrooms: a 6.5-mat Western-style room on the first floor, noted as an ideal bedroom for those who sleep during the day due to its limited sunlight, and three rooms on the second floor—a 12-mat combination Japanese-Western room and two 6-mat Western-style rooms, all with built-in storage.
Agent notes highlight key equipment and features. The kitchen is a system kitchen with ample storage for excellent usability. The bathroom is a compact 0.75 tsubo unit bath, which is economical on water bills and easy to clean. Other equipment includes a shower-equipped vanity, a heated toilet seat, a TV monitor intercom, and underfloor heating. The property is all-electric and features double-glazed windows. A notable feature is the vestibule (windbreak room) at the entrance, which helps protect the home from the cold. The house will be delivered after a standard cleaning, key exchange, and equipment inspection. A crucial note for buyers is that the installation of a water heater is the responsibility of the purchaser.
