Critical agent notes provide essential details. The property is equipped with a terrace. Special remarks indicate that the exact building age is unknown and, importantly, the land is designated as "non-rebuildable" (再建築不可), meaning new construction on the plot is not permitted. This is a crucial legal consideration for any potential buyer.

It is situated in a Category I Exclusive Residential Zone under urban planning regulations, with a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%.

Umi Town offers a blend of suburban tranquility and accessibility. The area is served by the Kashii Line, with Umi Station a 12-minute walk from the property, providing a direct connection to central Fukuoka. An interesting local fact is that Umi Town is historically associated with the legendary birthplace of Emperor Ōjin, who is venerated at the nearby Usa Hachimangū shrine complex. The closest major landmark is the vibrant and historic Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, a nationally significant site dedicated to the god of learning, located a short drive or train ride away.
