Critical agent notes have been translated for full transparency. The property's road access details are as follows: it fronts a single road to the east, which is a public road with a width of 3.7 meters and a frontage of 2 meters. Important remarks include: "Versatile usage, a rooftop-utilization house! South-facing wide balcony!" It is noted that a minimum lot area of 125 sqm is stipulated for the area. Due to the length and width of the dedicated access road, reconstruction is generally not permitted. However, by obtaining permission under Article 43, Paragraph 2, Item 2, this property can fulfill its road frontage obligation and become eligible for reconstruction. As the front road falls under Article 42, Paragraph 2, a setback is required. Regarding the water supply, it is drawn from the public main on the east side (100mm) via a private main pipe. To increase the diameter of the in-house supply, an increase in the private main pipe is necessary.
The property is conveniently located just a 7-minute walk from Seya Station on the Sagami Railway Main Line, offering excellent connectivity. The Seya area is known for its residential charm and proximity to nature. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Tsuruma Park is one of Yokohama's oldest and most beloved parks, featuring traditional Japanese gardens, a large pond, and seasonal flower displays. For a major tourist attraction, the iconic Yokohama Chinatown, the largest Chinatown in Japan and a vibrant hub of culture and cuisine, is easily accessible via train from Seya Station.
