Renovated Family Home in Quiet Obihiro Neighborhood
This charming two-story house in Obihiro, Hokkaido, offers a comfortable 3LDK layout with a total floor area of 76.95㎡ on a spacious 151.42㎡ corner lot. Built in December 1983, the property is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation scheduled for completion in May 2026, with all renovation costs and consumption tax included in the asking price of 18,490,000 yen. The renovation includes a full transformation: the existing kitchen will be replaced with a new LIXIL kitchen, the bathroom will be upgraded to a unit bath with reheating function, and the toilet will be replaced with a warm-water shower toilet. Interior changes involve converting a traditional Japanese room (washitsu) into a Western-style room, with complete replacement of ceilings, walls, and flooring throughout. The exterior will also be refreshed with new roofing and wall painting, and the existing garage will be demolished to create easier parking space. A new insulated entrance door and a shoe closet will be installed for added comfort.
Agent notes highlight the property's location in a quiet residential area with low traffic. The southeast-facing corner lot allows for ample natural light. Parking is available for two or more vehicles. The property is eligible for housing loan tax deductions under certain conditions. The gas company will be designated by the seller. A viewing session is scheduled from January 23rd (Friday) to January 26th (Monday) by appointment, with same-day reservations possible.
The area of Obihiro is the central city of the Tokachi plain, known for its vast agricultural fields and delicious dairy products. An interesting local fact is that Obihiro is the birthplace of the famous "Obihiro Butadon" (pork bowl), a must-try regional dish. The closest major landmark is the expansive Tokachi Millennium Forest, a vast nature park blending gardens, art, and agriculture, located a short drive from the city.
