Spacious Family Home in Yokohama's Utsukushigaoka with Planned Renovations
This detached house, located in the desirable Utsukushigaoka 2-chome of Yokohama's Aoba Ward, offers a generous living space of 134.56 sqm (approx. 40.7 tsubo) on a substantial plot of 293.39 sqm (approx. 88.75 tsubo). Built in April 1992 by the renowned Daiwa House Industry as a custom-built home, the property features a lightweight steel frame two-story construction. The layout is a practical 3LDK, enhanced by a storage room and a walk-in closet, providing ample space for family living and belongings. The property is currently vacant and is scheduled for a comprehensive interior and exterior renovation to be completed in April 2026 (Reiwa 8).
Key equipment and features include a TV monitor intercom and a dishwasher. The property boasts excellent sunlight and views. It offers parking space for two cars (depending on vehicle type) and faces a 6.5-meter wide public road on the northwest side. The entrance features a spacious SIC area capable of storing strollers and golf bags. The planned renovation work is extensive: the system kitchen will be replaced with an L2550 size unit featuring a built-in dishwasher and water purifier faucet; the unit bath will be upgraded to an 1818 size with a bath ventilation, drying, and heating system; the vanity will be replaced with a three-mirror unit and shower faucet; and the toilet will be exchanged for one with a bidet seat. Furthermore, the renovation includes new flooring, wallpaper replacement throughout, door replacements, a new water heater, a new monitor intercom, a new entrance door, roof and exterior wall painting, partial red cedar roofing, high-pressure exterior wall cleaning, termite treatment, and balcony waterproofing.
The location is highly convenient, with a mostly flat 13-minute walk to Tama-Plaza Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line. The neighborhood is peaceful, situated within a Category I Low-Rise Residential Exclusive Zone. Utsukushigaoka Higashi Elementary School is just a 2-minute walk (approx. 160m) away. The area is known for its upscale residential atmosphere and green spaces. An interesting local fact is that the Tama-Plaza station area was developed as one of Japan's first large-scale planned residential towns, creating a harmonious blend of urban convenience and suburban tranquility. The closest major landmark is the expansive Tama-Plaza Terrace and Tokyu Department Store, a major commercial and cultural hub for the community.
