Spacious Family Home on a Generous Corner Lot in Nagoya's Shitashimi District
This substantial property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, custom-built family home in a quiet residential neighborhood of Nagoya. The house, constructed in May 1998 by Sekisui House as a full-order custom home, offers over 214 square meters of living space across two stories. The layout is a generous 5SLDK, featuring five Western-style rooms (13.3, 12, 8.5, 8.5, and 8.5 tatami mats), a large combined living-dining-kitchen area of 29.9 tatami mats, and two service rooms (4.5 and 3 tatami mats). The property sits on a spacious, well-shaped corner lot exceeding 369 square meters (approximately 111.84 tsubo), providing excellent privacy and a wide street frontage.
The property is equipped with two toilets, a bidet seat, a bath with re-heating function and auto-fill, a spacious bathroom over 1 tsubo in size, a shower-equipped vanity, a system kitchen with grill, storage in all rooms, closets, a walk-in closet, air conditioning, internet readiness, flooring throughout all rooms, storm shutters, electric shutters, city gas, electricity, and public water and sewer systems. Special notes highlight the quiet residential area, location within a land readjustment district, the regular shape of the plot, three-sided natural light exposure, and exterior siding. The interior is noted to be in clean, well-maintained condition (photos are pending as the property is currently occupied). The exterior shows some age-related wear but is in good overall condition, with a preliminary estimate available for potential exterior wall work. The transaction is for the property in its current state, and a definitive land survey will be conducted.
The home is located in the Shitashimi area of Nagoya's Moriyama Ward, a family-friendly district known for its peaceful atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Shidami Kobata Ryokuchi area is a popular green space for residents. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Nagoya Castle, a magnificent reconstruction of one of Japan's most famous feudal castles, located approximately a 30-minute drive south, offering a deep dive into the region's samurai history.
