Spacious 7LDK Traditional Home in Hagi's Quiet Residential Area
This substantial property, listed on the Hagi City Akiya Bank, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with immense potential. The house features a generous 7LDK layout spread across two stories, providing approximately 185.43 square meters of living space on a corner plot of land measuring 202.89 square meters. Built in October 1952, the wooden structure shows the expected wear of its 73 years but is reported to not require any major renovations, presenting a solid canvas for restoration or comfortable living as-is. The property includes furnishings and household goods, which will be removed at the time of contract signing.
Key facilities and equipment include connections to public water supply, sewer system, and propane gas. The property is designated as a priority for UJI-turners (relocators to the region) until April 30, 2027. Additional desirable features include parking for two or more vehicles, a south-facing orientation, a monitor-equipped intercom system, a double-flush toilet function, and a layout considered suitable for multi-generational living. It is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood.
