Garden Associate B Building: A Spacious 3LDK Apartment in Yokohama's Sakaе Ward
This property is a well-maintained 3LDK apartment located on the 8th floor of the 15-story Garden Associate B Building in Yokohama's Sakaе Ward. The apartment boasts a generous 86.07 sqm (approximately 26.03 tsubo) of private area with a southwest-facing orientation, ensuring excellent sunlight. The living-dining-kitchen area is a spacious approximately 18.1-jo room and features underfloor heating for year-round comfort. Each bedroom includes storage or a walk-in closet, aiding in organization. The balcony is approximately 14.1 sqm, offering a sense of openness.
Key equipment and features include underfloor heating, a storage room, a guest room, an auto-lock security system, and a dishwasher. The building itself is a large-scale, reinforced concrete structure with a total of 1502 units (229 units in B Building), fostering a big community atmosphere. Security is robust with 24-hour manned management, auto-lock entry, and security cameras. An auto bath system allows for easy filling with the touch of a switch, and the bathroom includes a dryer for convenient laundry even on rainy days.
Significant interior renovations were carried out in July 2016, including replacement of the kitchen and cabinets, unit bath, toilet, washbasin, and flooring in most areas (excluding two Western-style rooms on the entrance side and the walk-in closet). The washroom and toilet floors were also replaced with cushion flooring, and some doors were exchanged.
The location is highly convenient, with Ofuna Station—serving the Tokaido Main Line, Yokosuka Line, and Keihin-Tohoku/Negishi Lines—just a 6-minute walk away. The area is family-friendly with Kasama 3-chome Park about a 5-minute walk (350m) away and Kasama Elementary School within a 10-minute walk. Daily conveniences are close by, including a Seven-Eleven (2-minute walk) and the commercial facility Grand Ship (6-minute walk).
The surrounding Sakaе Ward area offers a blend of residential calm and urban access. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Ofuna Station area is home to the iconic Kannon statue, Ofuna Kannon, a large concrete statue of the Buddhist goddess of mercy that has been a local landmark since 1960. For a major tourist attraction, the historic port city of Kamakura, famous for its numerous temples like the Great Buddha (Kotoku-in) and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, is just a short train ride away on the Yokosuka Line from Ofuna Station.
