Renovated 3LDK House with Spacious Windbreak Room in Hakodate
This property is a detached house located at 4-12 Jinzawa 2-chome, Hakodate City, Hokkaido. It is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation and is offered for sale at a price that includes consumption tax and all renovation costs. The house features a 3LDK layout with a total floor area of 97.71 square meters, built in March 1988 (39 years old).
The renovation work includes a full replacement of key areas. The kitchen will be exchanged for a new system kitchen with an artificial marble worktop and sink, designed to be easy to clean and coordinate with interior decor. The bathroom will be replaced with a new LIXIL unit bath featuring a floor with good drainage and a stain-resistant coating. The toilet will be a new Janis unit with a warm-water washing function and a scratch/stain-resistant finish. The washbasin vanity will be replaced with a new Panasonic AWE model. Additionally, the boiler will be replaced, and new lighting fixtures will be installed.
Interior updates include the replacement of the entrance door, some interior doors, flooring, and shoe storage. Wallpaper will be re-pasted, and the tatami mats in the first-floor Japanese-style room will be re-surfaced. The property boasts a notably large and attractive windbreak room (fūdetsushitsu) at the entrance. The south-facing living room offers good natural light. On the second floor, one approximately 11-jo Western-style room is bright, and another approximately 8-jo room features a dropped wall from the ceiling as an accent. Built-in storage is provided in the second-floor rooms.
The house sits on a 166.36 square meter (public ledger) plot with a front garden. Parking is available for two standard cars. The property uses propane gas, which provides strong火力 for baths and cooking and is noted for quick recovery after disasters. The gas company will be designated by the seller. The location is in a quiet residential area with relatively low surrounding traffic. A convenience store (FamilyMart Hakodate Kamiyama 2-chome store) is within 350 meters, about a 5-minute walk. Other nearby amenities include Co-op Sapporo Kaji store (1.5km, 3 minutes by car), Hakodate City Kamiyama Elementary School (1,100m), and Hakodate City Akagawa Junior High School (2,300m).
Access involves taking the JR Hakodate Main Line to Goryokaku Station, then a bus to Higashiyama Boen-mae, from which the property is a 4-minute walk. The seller provides a 2-year warranty covering the three major risks of second-hand homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion in major structural parts, and leaks/failures of water supply and drainage pipes. A standard termite prevention treatment is included with a 5-year guarantee from the construction date (for the treated areas only). The property is eligible for the housing loan tax reduction under certain conditions. Viewings are available by appointment, even during renovation.
