Renovated Family Home in Obihiro with Comprehensive Updates
This 4LDK detached house in Obihiro, Hokkaido, is currently undergoing a full renovation to become a move-in-ready family home. The property is priced at 18,99 million yen, inclusive of consumption tax and all renovation costs. The renovation is in progress, and viewings are available by appointment.
The renovation plan is extensive. The layout consists of four rooms on the first floor and two rooms on the second floor, all of which are scheduled to be converted into Western-style rooms. The positions of the washbasin and fittings will also be changed. Specific room updates include replacing wallpaper, flooring, and lighting fixtures. For example, a first-floor north-facing 4.5-tatami room, currently a Japanese-style room, will be changed to a Western-style room with new flooring, wallpaper, and lighting. The living room will feature new flooring, ceiling and wall wallpaper, and new light fixtures.
Key equipment and systems are being replaced with new units. The unit bath, toilet (a warm-water shower toilet), oil-fired boiler, and a 490-liter kerosene tank (eligible for regular delivery) will all be brand new. The kitchen is a spacious system kitchen approximately 244cm wide with a 3-burner hob and an under-counter grill. The entrance door will be cleaned and fitted with new locks, and the intercom will be replaced with a new monitor-type model for security. The breaker panel will be cleaned, and the amperage can be changed after moving in. A new washstand with a three-way mirror will be installed in the washroom, along with a new tap for laundry.
Externally, the high-cost exterior wall and roof painting will be completed as part of the renovation, providing peace of mind after purchase. The current garden area is slated for removal to create additional parking space. The final parking setup will allow for three cars in parallel: two spaces in the new parking area and one under the carport in front of the entrance. A windbreak room (風除室) will be cleaned and have its locks replaced, useful for storing winter snow removal tools.
The property is situated on a south-facing road, ensuring good sunlight. It is located approximately a 3-minute walk from the Keishin bus stop, accessible from JR Nemuro Main Line's Nishi-Obihiro Station. The neighborhood offers convenience with Obihiro Koyo Elementary School 1400m away, Obihiro Seiryo Junior High School 1200m away, and Shopping Land Ickyuu supermarket within 650m. A convenience store is also located 250m from the property.
