Spacious Family Home in Shonai's Historic Heart
This substantial property, located in the heart of Shonai's New Castle Town, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with generous living space. The house is a two-story wooden structure built in January 1974, featuring a 5DK layout. The interior comprises four traditional Japanese-style rooms (washitsu), each approximately 6 tatami mats in size, along with a service room, providing ample space for a large family or versatile usage.
The property stands on a sizable plot of 255.05 square meters (approximately 77.15 tsubo), with a building area of 130.17 square meters (approximately 39.37 tsubo). The land is designated as residential (宅地) within an unzoned area (無指定) and has a building-to-land ratio of 70% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The terrain is gently sloped. Ownership is full freehold (所有権). The property is currently vacant (空家) and is offered for sale under an exclusive brokerage agreement (専属専任媒介).
Newjo City, where this home is situated, is the northern gateway to Yamagata Prefecture, renowned for its rich samurai heritage and as the host of the famous Uesugi Snow Lantern Festival. The area is a hub for the Shonai region, blending historical charm with modern convenience. A major local landmark is the meticulously reconstructed Shonai Clan's New Castle Town district, which offers a vivid glimpse into the Edo period with its preserved samurai residences and merchant houses. The property is approximately a 22-minute walk from the JR Yamagata Shinkansen and Ou Main Line's Shinjo Station, providing direct high-speed rail access to Tokyo.
