Spacious 7LDK Family Home with Extensive Renovations in Chitose, Hokkaido
This substantial two-story house, built in August 1987 by Sekisui Heim, offers a generous 160.54 sqm of living space on a 299.29 sqm plot in the quiet, green residential area of Chitose's Satomi 5-chome. The property features a unique 7LDK layout with two kitchens, making it highly suitable for multi-generational living or even use as a home office. The seller has meticulously maintained and updated the home over the years.
Key equipment and features include a system kitchen, both IH and gas cooking hitters (2-burner and 3-burner), heated toilet seats, a bathroom with a window, vanity, ample storage space including closets in every room, hardwood flooring, a bay window, a video intercom, and utilities for city gas, electricity, water, and sewer. Special notes highlight the property's location in a lush, quiet neighborhood, its regular-shaped lot, dual-aspect lighting, excellent sunlight, siding exterior, and the presence of a Japanese-style room.
Remarkably, the property has a detailed history of renovations: roof waterproof sheet replacement (2004), bathroom replacement, heating/boiler replacement, wallpaper replacement in a second-floor Western-style room and toilet (2014), kitchen sink replacement and IH cooker replacement (2016), metal siding replacement and partial wallpaper replacement (2017), gutter replacement (2018), and roof repair (2021). It is also noted that while city gas mains are available on the front road, a connection pipe is not yet installed.
The area of Chitose is famously home to New Chitose Airport, Hokkaido's primary international gateway and a major transportation hub. An interesting local fact is that the city is also known for the Chitose Salmon Aquarium (Chitose Suizokukan), a unique facility located at the headwaters of the Chitose River, where visitors can observe salmon swimming upstream through a transparent underwater tunnel. The property is situated in a peaceful residential district, offering a serene lifestyle while remaining within reach of essential amenities and major transit links.
