Renovated Family Home in Asahikawa with Extensive Upgrades
This spacious 4LDK detached house in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, offers a comfortable and modern living environment following a comprehensive renovation. The property is currently vacant and ready for a new family, with a move-in condition ensured by numerous upgrades. The renovation plan includes standard cleaning, leak inspections, and equipment checks. Externally, the roof and exterior walls will be painted and repaired to prevent leaks. The parking space has been expanded, allowing for multiple vehicles, and the front gate is being replaced with a new one.
Inside, the home features a significant layout change: a traditional Japanese room (washitsu) is being dismantled to expand the living room, creating a more open and connected space. The kitchen will be a brand new LIXIL system kitchen with a heat-resistant, scratch-resistant artificial marble countertop, positioned to face the living area. All bathrooms are being fully updated. The bathroom will be replaced with a new LIXIL unit bath featuring a spacious one-tsubo (approx. 1.6x1.6m) bathtub. The toilet will be a new LIXIL model with a warm-water bidet function, and the washbasin vanity will also be a new LIXIL unit with a large 15L basin and LED lighting. The changing area will be made into an independent room with new walls and a door.
Throughout the house, flooring and wall/ceiling wallpaper will be replaced, and lighting fixtures will be exchanged. A new color monitor-equipped door phone will be installed for security. Fire alarms will be newly installed in all rooms—heat-sensing in the kitchen and smoke-sensing elsewhere, with a battery life of approximately 10 years. A new shoe cabinet will be installed in the entrance, and a walk-in closet will be added to one of the Western-style rooms. The property also features underfloor storage. The house is south-facing, which provides warmth in winter and is good for drying laundry. It is an all-electric home with features like a reheating function for the bath. The structure is a two-story wooden building built in October 1985.
The location in Asahikawa's Jujo-dori 13-chome is convenient for daily life. The area is known for its vibrant winter festival, the Asahikawa Winter Festival, which features spectacular ice sculptures. A major landmark in the region is the Asahiyama Zoo, one of Japan's most popular zoos, renowned for its innovative animal enclosures that allow for close-up viewing of penguins, polar bears, and other species.
