Showa-Era House with Spacious Garden in Himeji's Matogata Area
This two-story wooden house, built in 1970, offers a 7DK layout with a total floor area of approximately 40 tsubo (about 132 square meters) on a generous 73-tsubo (about 241 square meter) plot of land in the Matogata area of Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. The property is being sold as a house with land, and the current owner is looking for someone to take over this home after the previous resident moved out in July 2025.
The property features a natural grass garden of about 70 tsubo, suitable for outdoor activities. A distinctive feature is the cobalt blue plaster wall in a second-floor Japanese-style room, which provides a unique aesthetic. The house has undergone several recent renovations and maintenance updates. In July 2021, the kitchen system, bathroom, gas equipment, intercom, and tatami mats were all replaced or renewed. In October 2024, all rain gutters were repaired and replaced. A partial leak from a first-floor area during a typhoon in summer 2023 was fully repaired by a construction company, with no subsequent issues reported.
The property is equipped with a powerful air conditioner installed in 2021, suitable for larger rooms. It uses propane gas for cooking and heating, and is connected to the public sewage system. The property is located in an urbanization promotion area. The nearest station is Matogata Station, approximately 7 minutes away on flat ground. A Lawson convenience store is about a 4-minute walk, and an elementary school is just a 2-minute walk. Matogata Beach is approximately a 17-minute walk. The property is sold as-is, based on the public registry, and is subject to a 'rebuild not possible' restriction, which is reflected in the accessible price. There is no dedicated parking on the property, but a monthly parking lot is available a 1-minute walk away for about 3,000 yen per month. Motorcycles can be parked within the property.
