Spacious 5K Detached House on a Generous Plot in Kitakyushu
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial piece of land with a detached house in the sought-after Takao 1-chome area of Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City. The house itself offers a functional 5K layout, providing multiple rooms for flexible living arrangements across its two stories. Built in November 1964, this wooden structure sits on a sizable plot of land.
The land area is a significant 220.9 sqm (approximately 66.82 tsubo), with the building itself covering 102.15 sqm (approximately 30.9 tsubo). A critical detail from the agent's notes regarding the road access situation is as follows: Road Access Details: [Breakdown] East: Width 3m, Private Road, Frontage 9.5m. This means the property fronts a 3-meter wide private road to the east with a 9.5-meter wide frontage. The property is located within an Urbanization Area, zoned as a Category I Medium-to-High-Rise Exclusive Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The current status of the property is tenanted.
The area of Kokurakita Ward is a central part of Kitakyushu, blending urban convenience with historical charm. An interesting fact is that Kitakyushu was formed in 1963 through the merger of five independent cities, including Kokura, making it one of Japan's earliest designated major cities. The closest major landmark is the impressive Kokura Castle, a historically reconstructed castle with beautiful gardens, located just a few kilometers from the property and serving as a symbol of the city's samurai past.
