Spacious Family Home in Serene Setagaya with Recent Full Renovation
This charming two-story wooden house, built in December 1999, presents a fantastic opportunity in the quiet, residential neighborhood of Kami-Soshigaya, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. The property features a generous 4SLDK layout, offering a total floor area of 135.38 sqm (approximately 40.95 tsubo) on a land plot of 157.02 sqm (approx. 47.49 tsubo). The home is situated on a south-facing road approximately 6.4 meters wide, ensuring excellent sunlight and ventilation throughout.
Key features and equipment, as detailed in the agent's notes, include a bright, open-plan living-dining-kitchen (LDK) with a south-facing view of the garden. All rooms are 6 tatami mats or larger. The home boasts a family-friendly, face-to-face kitchen, a bathroom with a ventilation dryer (convenient for laundry on rainy days), and a bright bathroom and washroom with windows for easy ventilation. There are toilets on both the first and second floors. Practical storage is provided by a useful storage room on the second floor, and all living rooms have windows and built-in storage. The property includes one Japanese-style room on each floor, each offering a calm atmosphere, and the approximately 9.0-mat Western-style room on the second floor features a loft for tidy storage of seasonal items. A car space is available (subject to vehicle type).
A comprehensive renovation was completed in November 2025. This included the complete replacement of the system kitchen, unit bath, and washbasin vanity. Interior updates feature new wallpaper, curtain rails, and ceiling lights. The tatami mats have been re-covered, and exterior work comprised wall cleaning and painting, roof painting, balcony waterproofing, and a full house cleaning.
The location is within a quiet residential zone designated as a Category I Low-Rise Exclusive Residential District. The area is highly convenient, with Soshigaya Park, known for its many plantings, just a 3-minute walk (approx. 220m) away. The nearest major station is Keio Line's Chitose-Karasuyama Station, a 16-minute walk, which is also a stop for express trains. The surrounding Setagaya area is one of Tokyo's most desirable residential wards, known for its green spaces and community atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Soshigaya Park is built on the former grounds of a historic temple, the Soshigaya Benzaiten, adding a layer of cultural history to the neighborhood. For a major tourist attraction, the famous Gotoh Museum, which houses a superb collection of Japanese and East Asian art, including national treasures, is located within Setagaya Ward and is easily accessible from this location.
