Renovated Family Home in Shijonawate with Modern Upgrades
This two-story, 4LDK house in Shijonawate City, Osaka Prefecture, is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation, offering a move-in ready home for a family. The property features a spacious layout with four bedrooms, a living-dining-kitchen area, and ample storage throughout all rooms. The renovation includes complete wallpaper replacement, floor tile re-laying, lighting fixture replacement, and door replacement across the entire house. A key highlight is the conversion of a first-floor room from a Japanese-style tatami room to an 8-tatami mat Western-style room, which can serve as a guest room with direct access from the entrance.
The kitchen is being replaced with a brand-new system kitchen featuring a three-burner gas stove with a grill, artificial marble countertops resistant to heat and scratches, and drawers capable of storing tall items like 1.8-liter bottles. The bathroom is being updated with a new unit bath large enough to stretch out in. Two toilets are being replaced with new models featuring stain-resistant finishes. The washbasin area is also being fully renewed with a large 75cm-wide basin and storage behind a three-way mirror. Other upgrades include a new color monitor doorphone, new entrance door with keys, wide-type light switches, and new fire alarms (heat-sensing in the kitchen, smoke-sensing elsewhere) with a 10-year battery life.
The property boasts a sunroom accessible from the living room, leading out to a generous garden where the landscaping is being trimmed, offering potential for a vegetable garden. A two-story atrium brings natural light into the interior. Parking is available for two cars on a spacious front road approximately 6.1 meters wide. The seller provides a 2-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion in major structural components, and water supply/drainage leaks or failures. A termite prevention treatment with a 5-year guarantee (plus two free inspections) will also be completed before handover.
The area of Shijonawate City offers a suburban residential environment within Osaka Prefecture. An interesting local fact is that the city's name, which can also be read as "Shijonawate," is historically associated with the Battle of Shijonawate in the 14th century. For recreation and culture, residents can easily access the bustling metropolis of Osaka, with major tourist attractions like the iconic Osaka Castle, the vibrant Dotonbori entertainment district, and the historic Shitennoji Temple all within a reasonable distance.
