Renovated Detached House in Iwaki City, Fukushima
This detached house is located in Ishimori 2-chome, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. The property is a two-storey wooden structure built in September 1988, with a total floor area of 113.27 square meters on a land area of 306.68 square meters. The layout is being converted from a 6DK to a 4LDK configuration as part of ongoing renovations. The renovation plan includes combining an 8-tatami Japanese-style room and an adjacent 6-tatami room on the first floor to create a spacious approximately 22-tatami LDK. The walls and ceilings will have new cross wallpaper, and floors will be replaced with new flooring.
The kitchen will be replaced with a new system kitchen from Yodai Sangyo, featuring an artificial marble countertop for easy cleaning. The bathroom has already been replaced with a new unit bath from Housetec, which is a 1-tsubo (approximately 3.3 square meters) type, allowing for comfortable bathing. The toilet will be replaced with a new LIXIL brand unit with a heated toilet seat, and the washstand will be replaced with a new Panasonic model featuring a three-way mirror. All lighting fixtures throughout the house will be replaced with new ones. A new shoe box from Yodai Sangyo will also be installed. The entrance door will be replaced with a new sliding type for easy access even when carrying luggage. Storage in all rooms will be replaced with new closets featuring hanging pipes.
The property has a south-facing balcony, which will receive new waterproof coating. The exterior walls will be repainted, and the parking area will be expanded to accommodate up to five parallel parking spaces. A portion of the garden space will be removed to facilitate this parking expansion, though garden space can be retained if desired. An external storage shed of approximately 6 tatami in size, equipped with shelves, is also present. The property includes a well water source and a septic system. The property is located in a quiet residential area with low traffic volume. Iwaki Station is approximately 3,200 meters away (about 8 minutes by car). The property comes with a two-year warranty covering the three major risks of used housing: roof leaks, defects or corrosion of main structural parts, and water leaks or malfunctions of water supply and drainage pipes. Termite prevention treatment includes a five-year warranty with two free inspections.
