A Spacious 4LDK Family Home in Kobe's Sōzancho Neighborhood
This vacant, ready-to-view property is a spacious 4LDK single-family home located in a quiet, elevated section of Kobe's Kita Ward. The house is currently empty, and the keys are held by the listing agent, allowing for flexible and immediate viewings. The property is situated on a south-facing road on high ground, ensuring excellent sunlight throughout the day and a degree of privacy from pedestrian sightlines on the street below.
The home features a functional layout with six rooms in total. The largest space is the 6-jo (approximately 9.9 sqm) dining kitchen, complemented by a separate 6-jo living room, two 6-jo Japanese-style rooms (washitsu), a 6-jo Western-style room, and a smaller 4.5-jo Western-style room. Key equipment includes a system kitchen, a counter kitchen, both IH and gas cooking hobs, a bath with reheating function and a dryer, a washbasin with shower attachment, a bidet toilet seat, walk-in closets, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped door phone, and underfloor heating. The property is noted for being all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and having a parking space.
A significant feature is the property's dedicated, shutter-equipped sunken garage (堀込車庫), which can accommodate one vehicle and measures approximately 3.0m wide, 5.4m deep, and 2.0m high, providing secure parking. The home also benefits from a bright garden filled with greenery. Recent work completed in November 2025 includes anti-termite treatment and partial wall repairs.
The location offers excellent convenience. It is an 11-minute walk from Kita Suzurandai Station on the Kobe Electric Railway Arima Line. The Kobe Chuo Hospital, a major medical institution, is just a 6-minute walk away. The area is well-served with supermarkets, convenience stores, and other daily amenities within a short distance.
The surrounding Kita Ward area offers a blend of residential calm and accessibility. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kobe Municipal Forest Botanical Garden is one of Japan's leading botanical gardens, specializing in woody plants and featuring over 1,200 species of trees and shrubs across its vast grounds. For a major tourist attraction, residents can easily access the historic and scenic Arima Onsen, one of Japan's oldest hot spring resorts, located further along the same train line.
