Renovated Family Home in Nara's Historic Heart
This fully renovated two-story house in Nara's Kitakatsuragi District offers a comfortable and modern living space for a family. The property features a 4LDK layout with a total floor area of 107.74 square meters, providing ample room for everyone. The renovation work was comprehensive, ensuring the home is move-in ready. The roof and exterior walls have been repainted, giving the house a fresh, clean appearance from the outside.
Inside, the home has been completely updated. The kitchen was replaced with a brand new Hausutekku unit featuring an artificial marble countertop that is resistant to heat and scratches, making daily maintenance easy. The pull-out drawers are spacious enough to store tall items like one-sho bottles and pots. A built-in dishwasher is also included for convenience. The bathroom was replaced with a new Hausutekku unit bath with a window for easy ventilation. The vanity in the washroom is a new Panasonic AWE model with a large 75cm wide basin, complete with an outlet. The toilet was also replaced with a new model featuring a bidet function and a surface treatment that resists stains and scratches.
Throughout the home, wall and ceiling wallpaper has been replaced, and all lighting fixtures have been renewed and will be handed over installed. The flooring in the Japanese-style room has been re-tatamied, and the fusuma sliding doors have been re-papered, creating a soft floor perfect for a children's playroom. All rooms are equipped with storage. The entrance features new flooring tiles and a new shoe cabinet with a mirror. The staircase has new handrails installed for safety. Furthermore, all lighting switches have been replaced with wider types for easier use by children and the elderly, and additional outlets and TV jacks have been installed in all rooms where needed. A color monitor intercom provides security by allowing you to see visitors at the entrance from the living room and record missed calls.
The property sits on a 232.16 square meter plot with a spacious garden that has been pruned and is ideal for gardening or a home vegetable patch. Parking is available for two cars side-by-side, eliminating the need to shuffle vehicles. The covered entrance porch is convenient for rainy days. The location is practical, with a convenience store just a 4-minute walk (250m) away and a supermarket within a 13-minute walk (1000m).
The area of Goryo Town in Nara Prefecture is rich in history, situated near the ancient capital's plains. An interesting local fact is that the town's name, "Goryo," is associated with imperial tombs and historical sites from the Kofun period. The closest major landmark is the iconic Horyu-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world's oldest wooden buildings, located approximately a 15-minute drive away, offering a profound connection to Japan's ancient Buddhist culture.
