Renovated Family Home in Kitahiroshima with Modern Amenities
This spacious 4LDK detached house in Kitahiroshima, Hokkaido, offers a comfortable and modern living environment following a comprehensive renovation. The property, originally built in August 1990, has been thoughtfully updated with new fixtures and finishes throughout. The renovation includes a complete overhaul of the kitchen, which now features a brand-new 2550mm wide system kitchen from House Tech. The bathroom has been replaced with a new unit bath featuring a spacious one-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) bathtub, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The toilet and washbasin area have also been renewed.
Key interior updates include wall covering replacement, new flooring (including floor tiles and cushion flooring), LED lighting upgrades, and the installation of new doors and fittings. The first-floor Japanese-style room has been converted into a Western-style room, which can be opened up to connect with the living area. All bedrooms are 6-jo (approx. 9.7 sqm) or larger and feature ample storage, including walk-in closets with hanging poles in some rooms. A Lossnay ventilation system has been installed in the living room for efficient air exchange. The entrance door has been replaced with a new, more secure and thermally efficient model, and a new C-shaped shoe cabinet provides abundant storage.
Externally, the work includes the replacement of the entrance area and roof painting (to be completed after snowmelt), as well as partial exterior wall repair. The parking area has been expanded to accommodate two cars in a tandem layout, with new asphalt paving. The property sits on a 252.86 sqm corner lot with a wide 18m frontage road, making parking easy. The house is south-facing for good sunlight. The seller provides a two-year warranty against defects such as leaks or structural issues. The property is eligible for the housing loan tax reduction.
The location in Nishinosato Higashi is convenient for daily life. It's a 9-minute walk (650m) to Nishinosato Elementary School and an 18-minute walk (1400m) to Nishinosato Junior High School. A Seicomart convenience store is a 4-minute walk away, and a larger supermarket, Food D365 Nijiigaoka Shokusaikan, is about a 3-minute drive. The area offers a suburban, family-friendly atmosphere. An interesting fact about Kitahiroshima is that it's home to the Sapporo Dome, a major multi-purpose stadium with a retractable grass pitch that slides in and out of the stadium, used for both baseball and football. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic village of Historical Village of Hokkaido (Kaitaku-no Mura), an open-air museum showcasing buildings from the Meiji and Taisho eras of Hokkaido's pioneering days, located a short drive away.
