Renovated Family Home in Kobe's Suma Ward with Comprehensive Upgrades
This spacious 4LDK detached house in Kobe's Suma Ward offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a fully renovated family home. The property is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation scheduled for completion in March 2026, with all work included in the listed price. The layout features a generous approximately 16-jo (tatami mat) LDK (living, dining, kitchen) area and four Western-style rooms, providing ample space for family living. A key feature is the built-in storage in every room, ensuring excellent organization.
The renovation scope is extensive. The kitchen will be replaced with a new First Plus system kitchen featuring a quiet, splash-resistant sink. The bathroom will be upgraded to a new Housetec unit bath with anti-slip features on the tub and floor, plus an automatic hot water filling function. The first-floor toilet will be replaced with a new model featuring a bidet function, an easy-to-clean seamless design, and water-saving features. The vanity will be a three-sided mirror type for convenience. All interior doors will be replaced, and the flooring will be re-laid with new material. Wallpaper will be replaced throughout, and a new lowboard-style shoe box will be installed in the entryway. The exterior will receive new paint on the walls and roof.
Significant structural assurances are provided. The renovation includes a thorough inspection of the subfloor, with a 2-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion of major structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks/failures. A termite prevention treatment with a 5-year guarantee (from the construction date, for the treated areas only) is also performed.
The property sits on a 157.59 sqm plot with a 104.33 sqm building. It features a south-facing orientation for good sunlight, a garden space, and parking for two standard cars side-by-side. The front road is a 6-meter wide public road. The location is in a quiet residential area with low traffic. The nearest bus stop, Higashishirakawa-minami-dori, is a 2-minute walk away.
The surrounding Suma area of Kobe is known for its blend of urban convenience and natural beauty, with the Suma coastline nearby. A major landmark in the vicinity is the historic Suma Temple (Sumadera), a famous Buddhist temple with a history dating back over a thousand years, known for its beautiful grounds and connection to classical literature.
