A Custom-Built Home with an Irori and Mini Bar in Kyoto's Ukyo Ward
This property is a custom-designed two-story wooden home built with care and quality materials by the current owner, who originally intended it as their final residence. The building is constructed with attention to detail and has been diligently maintained, ensuring it remains in excellent condition and suitable for comfortable living for decades to come. The layout is flexible, with both the first and second floors designed to be divided into three sections using storage fittings, and each second-floor space includes a loft area. The first floor features tiled flooring throughout, except for the area around the irori (traditional sunken hearth). Both floors boast high ceilings, creating a strong sense of openness and space.
The home is designed with barrier-free considerations for ease of living, and the surrounding environment is quiet and pleasant. It includes a three-car garage, a step lift for accessibility, a mini bar on the second floor, and a gym in the first-floor extension area. The property also features a handmade bar counter and an irori large enough for about ten people. The owner is willing to remove the irori and other non-essential items if they are not needed, but would be happy for the buyer to take them all. All equipment and facilities have been well-maintained.
The property is located in the Uzumasa-Sanmachi-cho area of Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City, within a designated scenic and historically protected zone. This zoning imposes strict building regulations, including a maximum building coverage ratio of 20%, requirements for planting on the site, and guidance from the municipal office on roof and exterior wall materials. The location is in the center of a tourist area with beautiful scenery and clean air. Public transportation is convenient, with a city bus stop a two-minute walk away providing direct access to Kyoto Station and downtown without transfers. The Keifuku Railway Narutaki Station and a JR station are also within walking distance. Various hospitals, elementary, junior high, and high schools are within walking distance, and shopping is also within walking distance, with many large and small markets accessible within ten minutes by bicycle. The property is considered a convenient place despite its quiet setting.
