Spacious Shop-Residence with Detached Apartment in Ogose Town
This unique property for sale in Ogose Town, Saitama Prefecture, combines a large residence with a shop space, offering versatile living and business potential. The main building is a two-story wooden structure featuring an impressive 15 rooms. The first floor comprises six Japanese-style rooms (washitsu), two Western-style rooms, and the shop area. The second floor offers seven Japanese-style rooms and two Western-style rooms. The shop section itself is a creatively renovated storehouse (kura), adding character and historical charm to the commercial space. The property is situated in a residential area facing a prefectural road.
As per the agent's special notes, a critical feature of this listing is a separate, detached apartment building. The notes specify: "The separate apartment is sold as-is. Due to its deterioration, continued use is not feasible, and it is assumed that it will be demolished and used for a different purpose." This presents an opportunity for redevelopment or additional land use on the sizable 1,495.19 square meter plot. The property was originally used with live-in employees, which explains the high number of residential rooms. It is currently vacant and ready for immediate handover, pending consultation.
Ogose Town in Saitama is known for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that the town is famous for its plum blossoms, with the "Ogose Bairin" (Ogose Plum Grove) being a celebrated scenic spot attracting many visitors in spring. The property enjoys an exceptionally convenient location, just a 2-minute walk from both the Tobu Tojo Line's Ogose Station and the JR Hachiko Line's Ogose Station, providing excellent access to central Tokyo and the greater Saitama area. While the town is peaceful, it is within reach of major attractions like the historic Kawagoe area, often called "Little Edo" for its preserved warehouse buildings.
