Renovated Apartment in Sendai with Library Space and Relaxing Tatami Area
This 2LDK apartment, located on the third floor of the six-story reinforced concrete Co-op Nomura Yagiyama Park Ichibankan building in Taihaku Ward, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, offers a unique living experience centered around a love of reading. The property has been fully renovated as of December 2018, with complete replacements of the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet, as well as interior renovations to walls and floors in all rooms. The renovation theme is "rooms belonging to purpose, not people," creating spaces for reading, working, and relaxing.
The apartment features a spacious living-dining-kitchen area with blue accent wallpaper and good sunlight. A standout feature is the library space with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves, providing ample storage for books, figures, and collections with adjustable shelves. A small raised tatami area, approximately two tatami mats in size, offers a cozy, relaxing retreat with a textured plaster wall finish. The entrance hall welcomes residents with a large navy two-panel sliding door, which also helps block cold air, and includes a large storage closet and a full-length mirror. The bedroom is equipped with an air conditioner and is connected to the washroom via a waist-high door, allowing for easy transfer of laundry. A large capacity storage area with a flip-up lid near the window is useful for seasonal appliances and can double as a desk or storage shelf. The walk-in closet connected to the kitchen can be partially used as a pantry. The washroom features a wide counter and mirror, allowing multiple family members to use it simultaneously, and includes a movable shelf above the washing machine for detergents and towels. The bathroom is spacious with a heating, ventilation, and dryer system for convenient indoor drying. The toilet includes a fixed shelf for storing toilet paper and cleaning supplies. The island kitchen allows for communication with family in the LDK. On clear days, the Pacific Ocean can be seen in the distance from the property.
The apartment is located in a quiet, green residential area on a hilltop, a five-minute walk from Yagiyama Dobutsu Koen Station on the Sendai Municipal Subway Tozai Line. The building has a total of 143 units, with a management office separate from the main building. The property includes a bicycle parking area with a roof and a well-maintained entrance with a new elevator. Nearby amenities include a FamilyMart convenience store (4 minutes walk), a Seven-Eleven (10 minutes walk), a Welcia drugstore (15 minutes walk), a COOP Miyagi supermarket (15 minutes walk), and Sendai Red Cross Hospital (11 minutes walk). The property is priced at 17,800,000 yen, with a management fee of 10,970 yen per month and a repair reserve fund of 14,830 yen per month.
