Renovated 4LDK Family Home in a Quiet Obihiro Neighborhood
This charming two-story wooden house, built in 1982 and located in a quiet residential area of Obihiro, Hokkaido, has undergone a comprehensive renovation in July 2025, making it move-in ready. The property features a spacious 4LDK layout with a total floor area of 81 sqm (approx. 24.5 tsubo) on a generous 171.04 sqm (approx. 51.73 tsubo) corner lot. The renovation included a complete overhaul of the interior, exterior, and plumbing systems.
Key equipment and features from the agent notes include a new LIXIL system kitchen, a 0.75-tsubo LIXIL unit bath, and a LIXIL washlet toilet. The living room and all other rooms feature new flooring, with the living room getting new hardwood and the bedrooms receiving wood-grain cushion flooring. The entrance door was replaced with an insulated model, and the shoe cupboard and closets (including an EIDAI brand closet) were all newly exchanged. The exterior walls and roof have been fully repainted, a significant and costly update that enhances durability and curb appeal. The property is situated on a quiet street with low traffic and benefits from an 8-meter wide road frontage on two sides. The parking area, covered with crushed stone, can accommodate two standard vehicles easily, ideal for those less confident with driving.
Special notes highlight that the property is eligible for the housing loan tax deduction, and the listed price includes consumption tax and all renovation costs. The current status is vacant, and immediate occupancy is possible. The property is located in a Category II Medium-to-High-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone with a 60% building coverage and 200% floor area ratio.
The area of Obihiro in Hokkaido is famous for its rich agricultural plains and is considered a major food production hub. An interesting local fact is that Obihiro is the birthplace of the iconic 'Butadon' (pork bowl), a delicious dish of sliced pork served over rice. The closest major landmark is the expansive Tokachi Plain, a vast and picturesque agricultural landscape, with the scenic Shikaribetsu Lake and Daisetsuzan National Park located within a reasonable driving distance for weekend getaways.
