Renovated Traditional Kominka in Nara's Tenri City
This property is a spacious traditional Japanese house (kominka) located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Nagahara-cho, Tenri City, Nara Prefecture. It is a registered property with the Tenri City Akiya Bank, a program designed to match vacant houses with new owners. The house has undergone a full renovation of its water areas (kitchen and bathroom), ensuring modern functionality within a classic structure.
The property's equipment and facilities include separate bath and toilet rooms, a toilet, a bath, electricity, water supply, sewerage, propane gas, Japanese-style rooms (washitsu), a Japanese-style room of 8 tatami mats or larger, and a garden. Special notes from the agent indicate that an ultra-compact electric vehicle can be accommodated, as access to the rear warehouse is not possible for standard light vehicles, only for ultra-compact cars. There is also a nearby monthly parking lot available (subject to consultation). It is important to note that registration with the Tenri City Akiya Bank is required to proceed with this property.
The home features a generous 12DK layout across a total floor area of 204.27 square meters, situated on a sizable 376.51 square meter corner plot. The two-story wooden structure is south-facing and located in a peaceful area. Additional highlights include two toilets, a system kitchen, a bath with re-heating function, a monitor-equipped intercom, and suitability for multi-generational living. The property is sold as-is, vacant.
The area of Tenri City is rich in history and culture, being the headquarters of the Tenrikyo religion. A major landmark nearby is the stunning Tenrikyo Church Headquarters, a vast and architecturally significant complex that is central to the city's identity. The property is also within a 14-minute walk of JR's Nagara Station on the Sakurai Line, providing access to the wider Nara region.
