Spacious 6DK Home with Garden in Kumamoto's Kita Ward
This charming two-story wooden house, built in 1966, offers a generous 6DK layout with a total floor area of 146.18 square meters, situated on a 254.54 square meter plot of land. The property is currently vacant, and the agent encourages potential buyers to schedule a free viewing at their convenience. The home features a unique blend of Japanese and Western-style rooms, providing versatile living spaces. The Japanese-style room adjacent to the LDK was previously used as a living room, while the neighboring Japanese-style room served as a bedroom. A second-floor Japanese-style room provides access to a balcony, as does a Western-style room on the same floor, offering pleasant outdoor spaces.
The property includes several practical features such as a genkan (entrance) with a shoebox and a sliding door, a veranda that is convenient for drying laundry, and a toilet equipped with handrails for added safety and accessibility. The kitchen and bathroom are presented as opportunities for renovation, with the agent noting that they are open to consultation regarding remodeling these spaces. The home also benefits from a carport, providing parking for one vehicle at no additional cost.
According to the agent's special notes, the property is an akiya (vacant house). They welcome any inquiries for those who wish to see it in person, stating, "If you would like to see the property, please feel free to contact us with your preferred date for a free viewing." Furthermore, the remarks section provides extensive consultation services: "This is an Article 22 area. We are happy to consult on anything! For example: How much time and cost is involved in buying a house? Is a condominium or a detached house better? New build or a renovated property? I have other loans, but I'm worried about whether I can get a housing loan... etc. Our staff will propose a plan that suits each individual." This highlights the agent's commitment to guiding buyers through the entire process, from selecting the right property type to navigating financing.
The location in Kumamoto's Kita Ward, specifically in the Shimmizu Kamei-machi area, is highly convenient. It is just an approximately 4-minute walk from the Kumamoto Electric Railway's Kamei Station, providing excellent access to public transport. The neighborhood is a quiet residential area, with local reviews describing it as a place where one can live comfortably without any particular inconveniences, despite some hilly terrain. The presence of a garden allows for family activities such as gardening or a play area for children.
The surrounding area of Kumamoto is rich with history and culture. A notable landmark not far from the property is Kumamoto Castle, one of Japan's most extensive and impressive feudal castles. Originally built in the early 17th century, it is a premier tourist attraction and a symbol of the city's resilience, having undergone significant restoration after the 2016 earthquakes. The castle grounds, with their extensive stone walls and unique architecture, offer a fascinating glimpse into Japan's samurai history and provide a beautiful setting for walks and photography throughout the year.
