Vintage Minami-Asagaya: A Renovated 1DK Apartment in Suginami, Tokyo
This property is a 1DK apartment located on the 3rd floor of the 7-story "Vintage Minami-Asagaya" condominium in Suginami Ward, Tokyo. The apartment offers a compact yet functional living space with a total floor area of 32.5 square meters (wall center measurement) and includes a balcony of 4.97 square meters. The unit faces northeast, providing good natural light. The building itself is a reinforced concrete (RC) structure built in November 1997, making it 29 years old, and features essential amenities such as an elevator, 24-hour garbage disposal, a bicycle parking area, a parcel delivery box, and an auto-lock security system for resident safety.
According to the agent's notes, the property's current status is vacant. The notes explicitly state: "空家実際に見てみたい無料ご希望のお日にちなど、お気軽にお問合せください," which translates to "The property is vacant. If you would like to actually see it for free, please feel free to contact us with your preferred date." Furthermore, the remarks include: "施工会社：山忠建設株式会社F86BY007 ●ペット飼育可能（細則有）", meaning "Construction company: Yamatada Construction Co., Ltd. F86BY007 ● Pet ownership is allowed (there are detailed rules)." This confirms that the apartment is pet-friendly, subject to specific building regulations.
The apartment has undergone new renovations, enhancing its appeal. Interior features include a system kitchen, flooring throughout all rooms, and a bathroom equipped with a reheating function for the bath, a warm-water washing toilet seat, a bath dryer, and an auto bath storage system. The unit also benefits from a walk-in closet at the entrance (シューズインクローゼット). Its location is highly convenient, being just a 3-minute walk from Minami-Asagaya Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line and a 10-minute walk from Asagaya Station on the JR Chuo Line, offering access to two major train lines.
The surrounding area of Suginami is a classic, well-established residential district of Tokyo known for its peaceful atmosphere and community feel. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Asagaya district is famous for its "Pearl Center" shotengai (shopping street), a vibrant, covered arcade that has been a community hub since the 1960s, offering a nostalgic atmosphere with a variety of shops and eateries. For a major tourist attraction, residents are within reasonable travel distance to the iconic Meiji Jingu, a massive Shinto shrine nestled in a forested area near Harajuku, offering a serene escape from the city bustle.
