The property is situated on a corner lot with road frontage: a 6-meter-wide public road to the east and a 4-meter-wide public road to the north. A crucial special note states: "The RC structure first floor portion (October 1964). Addition: 1st floor 1.66㎡, 2nd floor 79.39㎡, 3rd floor 79.39㎡ (April 1996). *This building exceeds the current Building Standards Act's building coverage and floor area ratios.
