Grand Heights Shutara: A Spacious 4LDK Apartment in a Quiet Residential Area of Kitakyushu
This property is a 79.96 m² (approximately 24.18 tsubo) 4LDK apartment located on the 4th floor of a 6-story reinforced concrete (RC) building. Built in April 1985, the apartment features a south-facing orientation for excellent natural light. The layout includes Japanese-style and Western-style rooms, with a total of 14 tatami mats. A notable feature is the three-sided balcony (listed as 1 m² due to unspecified exact measurements), which provides ample outdoor space and multiple exposures.
Key equipment and features translated from the agent notes include ample storage space, an indoor area for a washing machine, a corner unit location, city gas, hot water supply, and an available bicycle parking area. The building is self-managed by a management association without a live-in superintendent. Special notes indicate the property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Important remarks clarify that the repair reserve fund is included within the monthly management fee of 15,000 yen. The cost for using the bicycle or motorcycle parking area is unspecified. A parking space is available nearby for 8,000 yen per month.
The apartment is situated in Kitakyushu City's Wakamatsu Ward, Fukuoka Prefecture. It offers excellent access to public transportation, being just an 8-minute walk from Wakamatsu Station on the Chikuho Main Line and a 3-minute walk from the Shutara bus stop for the Kitakyushu City Bus. The area is well-connected while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that Wakamatsu Ward was historically a major coal shipping port, contributing significantly to Japan's industrial revolution. The closest major landmark is the iconic Wakato Bridge, a large suspension bridge connecting Wakamatsu Ward with Tobata Ward, offering spectacular night-time views over the Dokai Bay.
