Spacious 8K Traditional Japanese Home on Generous Plot in Hokuei Town
This property is a substantial detached house for sale, offering a classic 8K layout (eight rooms plus kitchen/dining) within a generous land area of 689.11 square meters. The building itself provides a significant 219.13 square meters of living space, constructed in November 1968, making it a well-established home with character. The property is situated in a quiet, south-facing residential neighborhood on a corner plot, ideal for those seeking space and privacy.
According to the agent's notes, the property is being sold through a broker and is offered in its current condition ('as-is'). Some repairs are necessary, including work on the water heater. However, some partial renovations have already been completed, such as in the toilet areas. A notable point is that there is no parking space within the main house plot, but the owner has separate land available a short distance away. The property features two toilets, a system kitchen, a monitor-equipped intercom, and a bath with a re-heating function, making it suitable for multi-generational living.
The home is equipped with electricity, water supply, sewerage, and town gas. The agent's remarks detail the distances to local facilities: the nearest kindergarten (Daisei Kodomoen) is 2.0km away, while both the elementary and junior high schools (Daiei Elementary and Junior High) are 4.5km away. The town hall's Daiei office is 4.1km, and a police box (Seto Residential Police Box) is 1.8km from the property. Other nearby points include a supermarket (3.7km), a convenience store (3.7km), a hospital (2.1km), and a designated evacuation site (500m).
The area of Hokuei Town in Tottori Prefecture is known for its relaxed, rural atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that the town is the birthplace of the legendary manga artist, Gosho Aoyama, creator of the globally famous detective series 'Case Closed' (Meitantei Conan). The closest major tourist attraction is the Tottori Sand Dunes, one of Japan's most famous natural landmarks and a must-visit destination renowned for its vast, desert-like landscape overlooking the Sea of Japan.
