Dream Town Takano Izumi-cho: A Newly Built Family Home in Kyoto's Serene Left Bank
This newly built three-story wooden house, currently under construction and scheduled for completion in August 2026, offers a modern 2SLDK layout with a total floor area of 83.92 m² on a 44.03 m² plot in Kyoto's prestigious Sakyo Ward. The property features a private, light-filled second-floor living room, an efficient L-shaped kitchen, and bedrooms designed for comfort and flexibility. Key amenities include a bathroom with heating and drying functions, a dishwasher, a three-burner hob with a grill, and a TV monitor intercom for security.
Critical agent notes provide essential details. The equipment is registered under confirmation number R07 IPEC00600. Important remarks specify that exterior finish photography costs 1.2 million yen (tax included) separately, though design and supervision fees are included in the property price. The car garage area of 5.11 m² is included in the total. As the building is a quasi-fireproof structure within a quasi-fire prevention zone, a 70% building coverage ratio is applied.
Extensive arrangements are made for viewings. Open houses are held every Saturday, Sunday, and holiday (closed Wednesdays) from 9:00 to 19:00, but prior inquiry is mandatory. Private viewings are also available, with the model house being ventilated and disinfected, and guests are guided one group at a time. The agent provides comprehensive support: for those arriving by car, there is a parking lot (9 spaces) at 61-2, Shichiku Higashitakanawacho, Kita Ward, Kyoto. For train arrivals, a staff member will meet you at Kitaoji Station on the Karasuma Subway Line. The office is fully equipped for families, featuring a kids' room with DVDs, toys, picture books, and coloring materials, a baby bed for diaper changes, and available child seats. Three tailored viewing courses are offered: a quick 30-minute tour focusing on the floor plan; a thorough 1-hour tour including fixtures and equipment; and a comprehensive 2-hour tour that also covers the surrounding environment by car, visiting expected family facilities like elementary schools, supermarkets, and libraries. Loan consultations and other requests are also welcomed.
The property is situated in a quiet, residential neighborhood of Sakyo Ward, known for its academic atmosphere and proximity to nature. An interesting fact about the area is its historical connection to the Heian-period aristocracy, who built villas here to enjoy the scenic views of the surrounding hills. The closest major landmark is the historic and spiritually significant Shimogamo Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located a short distance away amidst a tranquil forest.
