Estem Plaza Kyoto Shijo Karasuma: A Renovated Urban Residence
The property's special notes provide essential details for prospective buyers. The current status is listed as an akiya, or vacant house, and the agent encourages interested parties to freely inquire about arranging a viewing on their preferred date. Further remarks reveal that the construction company was Tanaka Da Komuten. Important financial details include a neighborhood association fee of 400 yen per month. Crucially, the apartment underwent comprehensive renovations in Reiwa 2 (2020), which included replacing the wallpaper on all room walls and ceilings, replacing the flooring in the LDK (Living, Dining, Kitchen) area, and replacing the water heater.
Inside, the apartment features a bright living/dining/kitchen area of approximately 11.4 jo (approx. 18.8 sqm) that benefits from light entering through two directions via windows and glass blocks. The 2020 renovations included new flooring here, enhancing the space's appeal. The two Western-style rooms, approximately 6.3 jo and 5.2 jo respectively, also received new wallpaper during the renovation, creating a relaxing atmosphere. A significant feature is the slop sink on the balcony adjacent to the 5.2-jo room, allowing for convenient cleaning of outdoor or pet items separately from the kitchen sink. The unit is designed with privacy in mind, featuring an L-shaped entrance that obscures the interior from the view of visitors. Storage is ample, with both rooms containing closets, and one featuring a walk-in closet (WCL).
The building itself is an 11-story reinforced concrete structure with 40 total units and offers key amenities such as an elevator, auto-lock security system, and bicycle parking. The location is exceptionally convenient. It is a 5-minute walk to the Karasuma Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line and a 6-minute walk to Shijo Station on the Karasuma Subway Line. Within a 5-minute walking radius, residents have access to a pharmacy, supermarket, convenience store, and post office, making daily errands effortless. The area is also pet-friendly, subject to building regulations.
