Renovated 2DK Home in Yao, Osaka with Modern Amenities
This charming two-story wooden house, built in July 1977, is located in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture. The property offers a comfortable 2DK layout with a total floor area of 45.31 square meters on a 38.70 square meter plot of land. A key feature is the presence of a Japanese-style room on the second floor that faces a balcony, providing a pleasant indoor-outdoor connection.
The property underwent a comprehensive renovation in June 2013, ensuring it is in excellent move-in condition. The work included a full update of the water areas: the system kitchen was replaced, a new unit bath installed, and the vanity and toilet were exchanged. Interior renovations featured new wall and ceiling wallpaper throughout, replacement of flooring in the Japanese room, dining-kitchen, and Western-style rooms with new flooring, re-tatami matting, and the installation of new windows and interior doors. Externally, the house received a fresh coat of paint, and work was done on the balcony and exterior structures.
Notable equipment and features include a system kitchen, an IH cooktop, and an all-electric setup. The home is equipped with a walk-in closet, storage in every room, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and underfloor heating. The bathroom features a reheating function and a dryer. The property is also described as barrier-free and south-facing. While the listing notes a parking space is attached, the summary specifies there is no dedicated parking. The property is currently occupied, and viewings are possible.
The area of Yao City offers convenient access to Osaka's urban amenities while maintaining a residential feel. An interesting local fact is that Yao is historically known as a major center for Japanese knifemaking, particularly for traditional Japanese kitchen knives. The property is situated within a reasonable distance from Osaka's major attractions, including the iconic Osaka Castle, a historic landmark and popular tourist destination surrounded by expansive park grounds.
