Spacious 6K Family Home in Bungotakada with Renovation Potential
This detached house for sale in Bungotakada City, Oita Prefecture, presents a significant opportunity for those seeking a large, versatile property. Built in January 1973, this 53-year-old wooden two-story home offers a generous total floor area of 97.97 square meters spread across six rooms plus a kitchen (6K layout). The property sits on a sizable 246.26 square meter corner plot in a quiet, south-facing residential neighborhood, providing ample space and privacy.
According to the agent's notes, the property includes a gas stove and gas piping, a septic tank (汲み取り) system, and a public water supply. The home features two toilets, one with a reheating function, a system kitchen, a monitor-equipped intercom, and parking for two or more vehicles. Its location near a school and the high number of rooms make it well-suited not only for a large family but also for potential conversion into a private tutoring school (塾) or cultural classroom.

The property is located in the Tamatsu area of Bungotakada City. This historic city on the Kunisaki Peninsula is known for its connection to the ancient Kunisaki Peninsula Buddhist culture.

The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Usa Jingu, one of Japan's most important Shinto shrines and a UNESCO World Heritage site candidate, located approximately a 20-minute drive away in the neighboring city of Usa.
