A Traditional Machiya Townhouse Near Kanazawa Station
This property is a distinctive 7DK Kanazawa Machiya (traditional townhouse) located just an 11-minute walk from the JR Hokuriku Shinkansen's Kanazawa Station. The home offers a unique blend of renovated modern convenience and preserved historical charm. The first floor has been renovated, while the second floor retains the authentic atmosphere of a classic townhouse. Each room within the spacious layout has its own distinct character.
Key equipment and features include an IH cooking heater in the kitchen, which is easy to clean and helps keep room temperatures cooler during summer cooking. The property uses city gas, which is relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly. For laundry, there is a dedicated indoor space for a washing machine, which helps prolong the appliance's lifespan. The home is equipped with a system kitchen, counter kitchen, shower-equipped washbasin, washlet (bidet toilet seat), underfloor storage, flooring, bathroom heating, and a getabako (shoe cupboard). It also features barrier-free elements like handrails, making it safe for children and elderly family members. Other notable aspects include a spacious entrance doma (earthen floor), a separate bath and toilet, and a traditional engawa (veranda) on the west side of the second floor, characteristic of Machiya architecture. The property is designated within the "Kanazawa Machiya Preservation and Utilization Promotion Area." It has a renovation history from around 2016, though some building registration details note it as a "store." Please be aware there are potential issues: the building coverage ratio may be exceeded, and a setback is required.
