Renovated Family Home in Kushiro's Quiet Shirokabadaidai Neighborhood
This spacious 4SLDK detached house in Kushiro, Hokkaido, is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation to offer a comfortable and modern living environment. The price of 15.49 million yen includes consumption tax and all renovation costs, and viewings are possible even while work is in progress.
The renovation work is extensive. The exterior roof and walls are being painted, and some wall sections are being replaced. Inside, the layout is being updated: the first-floor Japanese-style room is being converted into a Western-style room. This involves installing cushioned flooring, replacing the wallpaper on walls and ceilings, and swapping out light fixtures. The same interior refresh—new cushioned flooring, wallpaper, and lighting—is being applied to the second-floor Western-style rooms, hallways on both floors, the staircase, the entrance area, the living room, and the washroom/laundry area. The living room is south-facing, bright, and offers a view of the garden.
All key wet areas are being replaced with brand-new LIXIL products. The kitchen is getting a new system kitchen. The bathroom is being replaced with a new one-square-meter (approx. 1.6m x 1.6m) unit bath featuring a spacious bathtub with a half-body bathing step. Both the first and second-floor toilets are being replaced with new LIXIL washlet toilets with adjustable seat temperature. The washbasin vanity is also being replaced with a new one. Other updates include a new water heater, intercom installation, fire alarm installation, and a lock change for the entrance door. Storage is being improved with a new closet in the first-floor converted room and open closets with shelving in the second-floor rooms.
The property sits on a 317.34 sqm plot with a garden and a parking space that can accommodate four cars in a tandem arrangement. The house itself has a total floor area of 103.50 sqm, is a two-story wooden structure built in July 1989 (37 years old), and complies with new earthquake resistance standards. It is located in a quiet residential area with low traffic. The agent notes that the property is eligible for the housing loan tax reduction and comes with a two-year warranty covering major structural defects, corrosion, and plumbing failures/leaks.
