Spacious and Recently Renovated Family Home in Nara's Historic Region
This substantial 3LDK detached house, located in the quiet residential area of Maminami 5-chome, Goryo-cho, Kitakatsuragi District, Nara Prefecture, offers a rare combination of space, comfort, and modern convenience. The property features a stately and robust exterior design that conveys a sense of status and provides a reassuring feeling of solidity. A key highlight is the expansive 22-jo (approximately 36.3 sqm) LDK, creating a comfortable and open living, dining, and kitchen area perfect for family life.
According to the agent's notes, the property underwent a major interior renovation in June 2023 (Reiwa 5), making it move-in ready and available for immediate viewing. The kitchen is a standout feature, equipped with a user-friendly system kitchen that integrates storage and is easy to clean. It also includes a counter kitchen, allowing for communication with family or watching over children while cooking. The home is fitted with a comprehensive range of modern amenities including an IH cooktop, a gas cooktop, a bath with reheating function and dryer, a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet, underfloor heating, and a TV monitor doorphone. For ample storage, the property boasts a walk-in closet and storage in every room. Additional features include an all-electric system, barrier-free design, a south-facing orientation, and a dedicated parking space.
The property is serviced by public water, city gas (noted as being relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly), and sewer systems. The layout is a practical 3LDK spread across two stories of wooden construction, built in March 1985. The total floor area is 102.68 sqm on a generous 206.62 sqm plot of land with full ownership rights. The current status is vacant, allowing for a smooth and quick purchase process.
The surrounding area of Goryo-cho is part of the historically rich Nara basin. An interesting local fact is that the name "Goryo" is linked to ancient imperial tombs (kofun) found in the region, reflecting its deep historical roots. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Horyu-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world's oldest wooden buildings, located just a short drive away, offering a direct connection to Japan's ancient cultural heritage.
