Lightweight Steel-Frame 2LDK House in Kobe's Higashinada Ward
This property is a two-story, lightweight steel-frame detached house built in November 1996 (Heisei 8). Constructed by Sekisui House, the home offers a 2LDK layout with a total floor area of 66.63 sqm (wall center measurement) on a 51.90 sqm plot of land. The house is currently vacant and ready for viewing.
The interior features a practical design. The kitchen is an independent, closed-off type, which helps prevent cooking odors from spreading to the living area. It is equipped with built-in storage shelves at the back. The living-dining room benefits from two-sided natural light, creating a compact yet open space without a sense of oppression. The bathroom is notably spacious and bright, featuring a large window for an open atmosphere. The washbasin in the changing area was replaced in February 2020 (Reiwa 2), ensuring it is in clean, like-new condition. The property includes a bath heater with a reheating function, allowing for warm baths at any time. Cooking is facilitated by a gas cooktop.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are configured as Japanese-style rooms (washitsu) with tatami flooring. A full interior renovation, including the tatami, was completed in February 2020. These rooms are arranged consecutively, providing a spacious area that can be used for guests. A walk-in closet on the second floor offers ample storage for family clothing. The entrance features a large-capacity storage area for shoes and play equipment. Additional amenities include a bathroom heater/dryer/ventilation unit, a monitor-equipped intercom, and underfloor storage.
The property is located in the Uozaki Kitamachi 6-chome area of Higashinada Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is approximately a 13-minute walk from Aoki Station on the Hanshin Electric Railway Main Line and about a 16-minute walk from JR's Settu-Motoyama Station. The neighborhood offers convenient access to local amenities. Nada High School is within 586 meters, Kobe Municipal Uozaki Elementary School is 660 meters away, and the Kounan Hondori Shopping Street Promotion Association is 340 meters from the property. Kobe Municipal Uozaki Junior High School is located 1,066 meters away.
A special note regarding the land: the plot does not front a road as defined by the Building Standards Act, which typically prohibits reconstruction. However, reconstruction may be possible upon obtaining agreement from the architectural review board.
