Charming Yet Needing Attention: A 4DK Family Home in Kobe's Maiko District
According to the agent's notes, the property is currently vacant and requires significant attention. Critical issues noted include a partially collapsed floor on the first floor and water leakage on the second floor. The listing also explicitly states that the property is "not eligible for rebuilding" (再建築不可). Despite these conditions, the home comes with several desirable features. The equipment list includes a system kitchen with a counter and an IH cooktop, a bath with a reheating function and a dryer, a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet, a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and underfloor heating. The property's characteristics are listed as all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and with a parking space (though the summary states "none" for parking, this may refer to a dedicated space).
The Maiko district is a historically rich area known for its coastal scenery. A fascinating local landmark is the Maiko Marine Promenade, a glass-bottomed walkway extending over the sea, offering stunning views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, the world's longest suspension bridge. The property is also within walking distance of Maiko Park, a pleasant seaside green space. This location combines the convenience of city living with the serene atmosphere of Kobe's waterfront, making it an intriguing prospect for those willing to undertake a renovation project in a prime area.
