Renovated Sekisui House in Kobe's Quiet Momoyamadai
This property is a 4SLDK detached house currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation in the quiet residential area of Momoyamadai, Tarumi Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. The price of 27,990,000 yen includes consumption tax and all renovation costs. The seller, a publicly listed company with a business and capital alliance with Nitori, specializes in purchasing used properties, conducting detailed checks, and renovating them to its own standards, ensuring post-purchase peace of mind.
The house is a Sekisui House-built home from February 1982 (45 years old). The extensive renovation includes standard termite prevention work, cleaning, leak inspections, and equipment checks. Exterior work involves roof, exterior wall, and retaining wall painting, as well as garden tree felling. Key interior updates include replacing the system kitchen, installing a new unit bath, replacing toilets and the washbasin vanity, and changing the layout. Other improvements are a new entrance door, some interior door replacements, new flooring, a new shoe cabinet, wallpaper replacement, tatami mat resurfacing, shoji and fusuma paper replacement, water heater replacement, intercom installation, fire alarm installation, and lighting fixture replacement.
The property features a south-facing corner lot with a garden and space for two cars parked in tandem. The layout includes a bright, south-facing living room of approximately 17 jo (about 28 sqm), a 6-jo Japanese-style room convenient for guests near the entrance, and four Western-style rooms on the second floor. The second-floor rooms benefit from renovations including new flooring, wallpaper, lighting, fittings, and closet interiors, with some offering two-sided lighting for excellent sunlight. A pantry space is planned. The house includes two toilets (one on each floor), a bathroom with a window for ventilation expanded to a 1-tsubo size (approx. 3.3 sqm), a separate dressing area, and a dedicated storage room on the first floor near the entrance suitable for golf bags or as a study. A monitor-equipped intercom is planned for the gate. The property comes with a 2-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: leaks, defects/corrosion in main structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe failures/leaks. The termite prevention work has a separate 5-year guarantee from the construction company.
The area is a peaceful residential neighborhood. An interesting local fact is that Tarumi Ward is known for its stunning views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, the world's longest central-span suspension bridge. The closest major tourist attraction is the Suma Coastal Area, featuring Suma Beach and the Suma Aquarium, approximately a 15-minute drive away, offering seaside recreation and family entertainment.
