The property boasts a functional 4DK layout with a total floor area of 68.25㎡ on a 40.11㎡ plot of flat land, making daily living easy. The home features a bright, south-facing orientation and is situated in an open-feeling area lined with other houses. The agent highlights several key features: the home is equipped with a system kitchen, counter kitchen, IH cooktop, and gas cooktop. The bathroom includes a reheating function (追い焚き), a bath dryer, and a shower-equipped vanity. Other notable equipment includes a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor doorphone, and underfloor heating. Special features noted are that it is all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and includes parking. Additional facilities are public water, city gas, sewer, separate bath and toilet, shower, hot water supply, and flooring throughout.
The interior is designed for spacious living. The kitchen and dining area have no partition, creating an open and expansive feel. The sunny kitchen is sure to brighten your mood. The living-dining-kitchen (LDK) area spans 8 tatami mats, offering a cozy and comfortable atmosphere perfect for family time. The home includes a 6-tatami Japanese-style room with a traditional tokonoma (alcove), ideal for relaxing or accommodating overnight guests, and features deep, height-and-depth oshiire (closet) storage for seasonal items and bedding. There are two Western-style rooms (7.5-tatami and 5-tatami), both bright and airy. A built-in hanger rack is a convenient point. The entrance area is tidy, and the bathroom, while well-used, is still functional and includes a shower. The third-floor balcony is spacious, reducing laundry-day stress, and the washroom has a calm, clean white aesthetic. The agent notes that while the toilet is still usable, they can consult on partial seat replacement renovations.
The location is exceptionally convenient for commuters and daily life. It is just a 4-minute walk from the Keihan Line's Senbayashi Station, providing 3-way access as the Osaka Metro Imazatosuji Line's Shimizu Station and the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line's Senbayashiohmiya Station are also within walking distance. A convenience store is within 276m (a 4-minute walk), and a supermarket is within 421m. The area is served by Osaka Municipal Shimizu Elementary School (477m) and Osaka Municipal Asahihigashi Junior High School (825m).
The Asahi Ward area is a predominantly residential part of northern Osaka City, known for its local shopping streets and community feel. An interesting fact about the ward is that it is home to the Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park, a vast green space that hosts the popular Expo '70 Commemorative Park, site of the 1970 Japan World Exposition. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Osaka Castle, a historic landmark and museum surrounded by beautiful parklands, easily accessible via the nearby train lines.
