Traditional-Style Single-Story Home in Kaminoyama, Yamagata
This property presents a charming single-story home with a traditional Japanese folk-house aesthetic, located in Kaminoyama, Yamagata Prefecture. The house was built in October 1977 and offers a total floor area of 74.38 sqm (approximately 22.49 tsubo) on a generous land plot of 346.55 sqm (approximately 104.83 tsubo). The layout is a 4K configuration, featuring three 6-tatami Japanese-style rooms and one 8-tatami Western-style room.
Key equipment and features include a shower-equipped vanity, a system kitchen, air conditioning, lighting fixtures, and utilities for propane gas, electricity, and water supply and drainage. Important notes from the agent specify that a renovation of the water areas (kitchen, bathroom, toilet, washbasin, and water heater) was completed in May 2010, but these fixtures will require replacement. Parking is available for one light vehicle on the premises, with an additional space available on adjacent land a one-minute walk away for a monthly fee of 3,000 yen. The agent strongly advises prospective buyers to visit and confirm the site's exterior before an internal viewing, noting that the actual condition takes precedence over any provided floor plans.
The agent also offers comprehensive support services, including handling complex procedures and acting as a single point of contact for various contractors to ensure a smooth transaction. They provide free life planning consultations with a financial planner, free estimates for sale/purchase, renovation quotes, mortgage advice, and consultations on contracts, permits, inheritance, and taxes related to real estate.
The area of Kaminoyama is renowned for its relaxing hot springs, a key feature of the town's appeal. A notable local landmark is the Kaminoyama Castle, a reconstructed castle that now serves as a history museum and offers panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains, providing a glimpse into the region's samurai past.
