Renovated Family Home in Kanazawa's Historic Kanaiwa District
This fully renovated two-story wooden house, built in 1998, offers a move-in-ready solution in the established Kanaiwa area of Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation, ensuring modern comfort and peace of mind. The exterior has been refreshed with new paint on both the walls and roof, presenting a clean and crisp appearance. The layout is a practical 3LDK, featuring a spacious approximately 15.5-jo living-dining-kitchen area with two large sliding windows that flood the space with natural light and provide direct access to a ground-floor terrace, perfect for barbecues or as a children's play area.
The renovation details are extensive. All bedrooms feature built-in storage, and the second floor includes a convenient roofed balcony. The kitchen has been newly installed with a Lixil system kitchen, complete with new flooring tiles, wallpaper, lighting, and two new grounded outlets. The bathroom has been replaced with a new one-tsubo (approx. 1.6x1.6m) unit from House Tech, featuring a deep bathtub. The vanity area now boasts a Panasonic AWE washbasin with hair-washing functionality, and the toilet is a new Janis unit with a bidet function. The entrance has been upgraded with a new lock, intercom, and motion-sensor lighting for convenience. Throughout the home, walls have been re-papered, flooring has been refinished or tiled, and lighting fixtures have been replaced. Additional work includes cleaning and repair of the terrace, balcony, shoe closet, and parking area.
Critical structural assurances are a key feature. The seller provides a two-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects or corrosion in major structural components, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks or failures. Furthermore, a termite prevention treatment with a five-year guarantee (from the construction date, for the treated areas only) has been performed, including two free inspections.
The location in Kanazawa's Kanaiwa district offers a blend of residential calm and accessibility. The area is known for its historical connection to the old Kanaiwa town, which was a prosperous port area during the Edo period. The property is situated just a 3-minute walk from Kanaiwa Junior High School and offers easy access to daily conveniences like a FamilyMart (5-minute walk) and a Baro supermarket (9-minute walk). For major cultural excursions, the world-renowned Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan's Three Great Gardens and a top tourist attraction, is approximately a 30-minute drive or bus ride away, offering a stunning example of traditional Japanese landscape design in the heart of the city.
