Spacious 3DK Apartment in Yokohama's Sakaneyama Area
This property is a 3DK apartment located on the 5th floor of a 5-storey reinforced concrete (RC) building in Sakaneyama, Asahi Ward, Yokohama. The apartment offers a generous private floor area of 46.22 square meters (approximately 13.98 tsubo) and features a separate bath and toilet.

Special notes from the agent indicate the original developer was the Japan Housing Corporation (now UR) and the builder was Muramoto Construction. The building is self-managed by the owners' association with a daytime manager, and the management company is Wellness. There is no outstanding loan for the management association, and the total reserve fund is substantial.
Important restrictions are in place: pets are not allowed, musical instruments are restricted to avoid noise disturbance to neighbors, renovations require prior approval, and use for residential lodging business (minpaku) is prohibited. The property has not undergone a building inspection. The annual fixed asset tax for FY2025 is approximately 41,800 yen.

The property is sold as-is, with all fixtures considered potentially faulty. The seller will specify the judicial scrivener for the transaction.
The Sakaneyama neighborhood in Asahi Ward is a well-established residential area. An interesting local fact is that the area was developed as a large-scale public housing project in the 1960s, creating a community with ample green spaces and local amenities. The closest major landmark is the historic Sankeien Garden, a spacious Japanese garden in southern Yokohama featuring historic buildings relocated from across Japan, offering a serene escape from city life.
