Spacious and Recently Renovated Family Home in Himeji
This detached house, built in 2002, presents a fantastic opportunity for a comfortable family life in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture. The property features a simple yet harmonious exterior design with ample parking space for two vehicles, ensuring convenient access and a clutter-free approach.
The interior layout is designed for versatility and practicality. The first floor contains a bright living-dining-kitchen area and a spacious Western-style room, suitable for various uses. The second floor is configured with one Japanese-style room (washitsu) and three Western-style rooms, allowing families to separate living spaces as needed. The house boasts abundant storage throughout, including closets and storage rooms.
Key equipment and features have been comprehensively updated. A full renovation was completed in November 2023, encompassing all water areas (kitchen, bathroom, toilet, washbasin area, and laundry faucet replacement), as well as the complete interior (floors, walls, ceilings, and all fixtures). The exterior walls and roof were also refreshed at that time. The kitchen is a highlight, featuring a simple, white-toned system kitchen with a large window for natural light, ample storage, and an IH cooking heater. The bathroom includes a reheating function (追い焚き), ensuring a warm bath is always available. Other notable equipment includes a TV monitor intercom, underfloor heating, a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet seat, and an all-electric system. The property is also noted as being barrier-free and south-facing.
The location offers excellent daily convenience. It is just a 5-minute walk from Nishishikama Station on the Sanyo Electric Railway Aboshi Line, providing easy train access. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and residential, with a road width that allows for smooth vehicle traffic. Daily amenities are close at hand, with a drugstore (Welcia) 485m away, a supermarket (Hallows) 797m away, and a convenience store (Lawson) 544m away. The property is also within a short walk of Hokoku Nursery (268m) and Tsuda Elementary School (753m).
The area of Himeji is rich in history and culture, most famously home to Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most spectacular and well-preserved feudal castles. Known as the "White Heron Castle" for its elegant white appearance, it is a premier tourist attraction drawing visitors from around the world and is easily accessible from this location.
