Dia Palace Yugawara Grand Hills Building 2: A Resort Condominium with Extensive Amenities
This property is a spacious 2LDK unit located within the large-scale resort condominium complex, Dia Palace Yugawara Grand Hills Building 2. The apartment offers 56.25 square meters of private living space complemented by a 5.04 square meter balcony with a northeast orientation. Situated on the 2nd floor of a 14-story building constructed in 1994, this unit is conveniently located in Building A, which provides easy access to the complex's extensive shared facilities.
The property's equipment includes hot water supply via a gas water heater, a gas cooktop, and individually installed heating and cooling systems for personalized climate control. A critical note for buyers is that the registered structure on the official registry is listed as a 16-story above-ground building, which differs from the actual current condition. Public transportation access is available via the "Izumihonku" bus stop, for which a timetable is available.
The condominium complex itself is a major attraction, featuring a wealth of shared amenities. Residents have access to a hot spring spa, a 12m x 5m indoor heated pool available year-round, a sports/athletic room, and a kids' room. The building offers secure 24-hour auto-lock entry and various paid parking options. Monthly fees include a management fee of 22,390 yen and a repair reserve fund of 9,390 yen, totaling 31,780 yen, with an additional monthly water base charge of 6,500 yen.
The property is located in the hot spring town of Yugawara in Kanagawa Prefecture, an area renowned for its therapeutic waters and scenic beauty nestled between the mountains and Sagami Bay. An interesting local fact is that Yugawara's springs have been celebrated for over a thousand years, even mentioned in the ancient "Man'yoshu" poetry anthology. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Hakone Open-Air Museum, a world-class sculpture park located a short drive away in the neighboring Hakone area, offering a perfect cultural day trip.
