Spacious Duplex Home in Noboribetsu with Park Views
This property is a two-family duplex home currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido. The layout consists of a 5LDK unit spanning two floors and a separate 2LDK unit on the first floor, offering flexible living arrangements for multi-generational families or rental potential. The renovation work is extensive and includes the replacement of the kitchen and a one-tsubo (approx. 1.6m x 1.6m) bathroom with brand new units. All rooms are receiving new wallpaper, lighting fixtures are being swapped, and the tatami mats in the Japanese-style room are being re-covered. The exterior is also being refreshed with roof and wall painting.
Key features translated from the agent notes include a new kerosene boiler, a new washbasin/vanity, and a new toilet. The entrance has a storm door, and both entrances for the separate units will have their locks replaced. The property includes a shoe cupboard storage. For safety, new fire alarms are being installed throughout all rooms; heat sensors in the kitchen and smoke sensors elsewhere, with a battery life of approximately 10 years. The kitchen faucet being installed has an extendable nozzle and a built-in water purification function. The property comes with a 2-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion in major structural parts, and water leakage/failure of water supply and drainage pipes.
The land is a generous 384.40 sqm (approx. 116 tsubo) with a building area of 174.96 sqm (approx. 52 tsubo). It fronts a 16-meter public road to the north and directly adjoins Shinkawa Park to the south, providing park-like views. Parking is ample with space for four vehicles. The property uses propane gas and public water/sewer systems.
The area of Noboribetsu is famous for its hot spring resorts, particularly Noboribetsu Onsen, one of Hokkaido's most famous and mineral-rich hot spring towns located just a short drive away. The property is also within a reasonable distance from the iconic Hell Valley (Jigokudani), a spectacular volcanic crater that is a major tourist attraction showcasing the powerful geothermal activity of the region.
