Spacious Resort-Style Home in Hakodate's Higashiyama District
This detached house located in the Higashiyama area of Hakodate City, Hokkaido, offers a generous living space ideal for a slow-paced lifestyle. The property is situated within a resort area and is suitable for permanent residence or as a seasonal summer retreat. The interior is remarkably spacious, featuring a dramatic double-height ceiling in the living room equipped with a wood-burning stove. The combined dining and kitchen area totals 28 tatami mats, providing a relaxed and open atmosphere. The counter kitchen is fitted with a gas oven. A wide veranda (engawa) adjacent to the large tatami room offers a pleasant spot for relaxation. A special viewing area on the third-floor mezzanine provides an excellent vantage point for Hakodate's summer fireworks festival. A storage area on the first floor can be used as a garage, and combined with the front parking space, the property can accommodate up to five vehicles. The property is within a designated resort area, uses a simplified septic system, and exceeds the mandated volume ratio.
The property is currently occupied, so advance reservations are required for viewings, and the handover process may require some time. The seller is seeking a buyer who understands and appreciates these conditions. Utilities include public water supply and individual LPG gas. The land is sold under freehold title. The building was completed in January 2001 and is a three-storey structure.
