Spacious and Versatile Wooden Home in Historic Uzumasa, Kyoto
This charming two-story wooden house, built in August 1965, presents a fantastic opportunity in the culturally rich Uzumasa district of Kyoto's Ukyo Ward. Priced at 6.8 million yen, this vacant property is a 5DK layout offering approximately 88.23 square meters of living space on a 66.18 square meter plot. Its prime location provides excellent access, being just a 5-minute walk from JR San-in Main Line's Hanazono Station and an 11-minute walk from the Tozai Subway Line's Uzumasa-Tenjingawa Station, making commutes to Kyoto Station and beyond highly convenient.
The property boasts an abundance of rooms, making it suitable for both residential living or as an investment property. The agent notes highlight several key features and equipment. The kitchen is a system kitchen with a spacious sink and cooking area designed for easy meal preparation, complemented by ample storage. The bathroom is equipped with safety handrails and a window for excellent ventilation to prevent moisture and mold. The toilet features a bidet-style washlet with warm-water cleansing functionality and also includes a handrail. Additional equipment includes a counter kitchen, gas cooktop, balcony, hardwood flooring, and an independent washbasin area with dedicated space for a washing machine. The property is connected to public water supply, city gas, and sewer systems.
The interior is bright, with sunlight streaming into the second-floor hallway. The approximately 7.94-jo dining kitchen offers extra storage under the stairs. The home includes multiple Japanese-style rooms: one spacious 6-jo room with a large closet, and another 4.5-jo room that could serve as a study or hobby room. There is also an approximately 3-jo storage room that provides access to the balcony, which is designed to keep laundry dry even during rain. The agent encourages an in-person viewing, noting that seeing the property in real life alongside the photos is recommended, and offers consultation on home loans, financial planning, and renovation.
The surrounding Uzumasa area is steeped in history and film culture, being the longtime home of Toei Kyoto Studio Park, a major film set and theme park where countless jidaigeki (period dramas) have been shot. For daily needs, several supermarkets and convenience stores, including LIFE Uzumasa and Daily Yamazaki, are within a 450-500 meter walking distance. The property is currently vacant and ready for viewing at any time.
