6th Floor South-Facing 1LDK with Private Onsen in Beppu
This is a 1LDK apartment located on the top (6th) floor of a condominium building, offering a south-facing orientation and the unique feature of individual household onsen (hot spring) access. The layout consists of a 12-tatami mat living-dining-kitchen (LDK) area and a separate 6-tatami mat Western-style room, which is also south-facing and benefits from excellent sunlight. The total private floor area is 37.74 sqm (approximately 11.41 tsubo), and the property includes a 1.82 sqm balcony.
Key equipment and features include: a bathroom with a window, a 2-burner stove, an indoor washing machine space, flooring in all rooms, top-floor location, city gas, hot water supply, an elevator, and a free bicycle parking area. The building is a reinforced concrete (RC) structure built in May 1971, with 6 above-ground floors and 1 basement floor. It contains 51 units in total and is managed by a residents' association.
Special notes from the agent are critical: The bathroom currently leaks to the floor below when water is used, so bathroom renovation work is required. Furthermore, interior renovation work is needed throughout the apartment. The property will be handed over in its current 'as-is' condition, and prospective buyers must acknowledge this beforehand. The property is located in a quiet residential area. Monthly costs include a management fee of 7,000 yen, a repair reserve fund of 7,000 yen, a basic water charge of 970 yen, and a basic onsen charge of 600 yen. Parking is available for 3,000 yen per month, though currently unoccupied.
The apartment is situated in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture, an area world-renowned for its vast output of hot spring water. Beppu is home to the famous "Beppu Hells" (Jigoku), a collection of spectacular, uniquely colored hot springs for viewing rather than bathing. The closest major tourist attraction is the Kamegawa Onsen area, approximately 1km away, which is one of Beppu's eight major hot spring districts, offering a traditional and authentic onsen town experience.
