Critical agent notes and features have been translated from the Japanese listing. The property is noted as "再建築不可" (not eligible for rebuilding), as the road on the northwest side is not considered a road under the Building Standards Act. However, it is described as suitable for renovation or rental investment. The sale is "現況有姿でのお引渡し" (as-is condition), allowing the buyer to enjoy a renovation to their own taste. The listing emphasizes that the property allows for purchase within a controlled budget, making it recommended for investment or as a second home. Important special notes include: the seller does not assume liability for contract non-conformities, and the building was constructed in 1959 (Showa 34) under unspecified Building Standards Act Article 22 designations, and is subject to the Landscape Act and Land Readjustment Project Control Area regulations.
The property is equipped with a water supply and a cesspool (汲取). Parking is not available. The land is designated as residential land within a City Planning Area (Urbanization Promotion Area) and falls under the Category I Exclusive Residential District, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.
The area of Fukuyama City is historically rich, known for its role in the production of traditional Japanese footwear, geta. A major landmark not far from this location is the iconic Fukuyama Castle, a reconstructed castle keep that serves as a museum and offers panoramic views of the city.
