Renovated Spacious Family Home in Tsuruga, Fukui
This property is a substantial 6LDK detached house currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a move-in ready home in the desirable Wakaba-cho area of Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture. The price of 25,99 million yen is fully inclusive of consumption tax and all renovation costs, providing transparency and peace of mind for the buyer. The renovation is in progress, but viewings are still possible by appointment.
The property boasts an expansive layout with approximately 18-jo (about 30 sqm) living room and six Western-style rooms, offering immense flexibility for large families, home offices, or hobby spaces. Key renovation details include the replacement of all flooring and wall/ceiling wallpaper throughout, transforming existing Japanese-style rooms into bright, modern Western-style spaces. The kitchen will be completely new, featuring a counter-style design from EIDAI SANGYO with a quiet sink to minimize splashing noise. The bathroom is being replaced with a new one-pyo (approx. 3.3 sqm) unit bath from HouseTec, large enough to stretch out and relax. Two toilets, one on each floor, will be new Janis units. The entrance door is being replaced with a new swing-type door, and the genkan area will feature new tiling and a shoe cabinet. Switch plates are being replaced, and electrical outlets are being added as appropriate for the floor plan.
Significant structural and safety upgrades are a core part of the renovation. Earthquake reinforcement work is planned, and obtaining a seismic compliance certificate (for a separate fee) could make the property eligible for home loan tax deductions and real estate acquisition tax reductions. A five-year warranty is provided for the termite prevention work, including two free inspections. Crucially, the seller provides a two-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion in major structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks or failures. This warranty is backed by a thorough inspection, including under-floor areas, prior to renovation.
The property sits on a generous 313.87 sqm (approx. 94 tsubo) plot. Parking is a major advantage, with space for a total of four vehicles: two in an inner garage (suitable for compact/kei cars) and two more in front of the house. The location in Wakaba-cho is convenient, within 400 meters of Awano Junior High School and amenities like a Lawson convenience store and a Hearts supermarket. The area is served by public water, propane gas, and sewer systems.
Tsuruga City, located on the coast of the Sea of Japan, is a historic port city with a rich maritime heritage. An interesting local fact is that Tsuruga was a critical port of entry for Polish orphans rescued from Siberia after World War I, and a memorial in the city commemorates this humanitarian effort. The closest major landmark is the Tsuruga Red Brick Warehouse, a symbol of the city's trading history, located near the port area.
