Renovated Family Home in Kanuma, Tochigi
This detached house, located in the Matsubara 1-chome area of Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture, is available for purchase. The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation scheduled for completion in May 2026. The floor plan has been reconfigured to create a 4LDK layout, with the traditional Japanese room being converted into a Western-style room, resulting in all living spaces featuring flooring finishes. All water-related fixtures are being completely replaced to ensure a fresh start for new residents.
The renovation includes a new unit bath from the manufacturer Housetec, featuring a spacious 1-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) design with a built-in bench that accommodates various bathing styles while saving water. The bathroom is also equipped with a heating, ventilation, and drying system, providing functions for drying clothes indoors, heating in winter, a cool breeze in summer, and drying to prevent mold. The shower head will be a new model that combines a swirling e-shower at the center with a straight shower on the outer edge, offering both water conservation and a comfortable bathing experience. A new washlet toilet from Janis Kogyo, which uses approximately 59% less water than conventional models, will be installed. The vanity unit is also being replaced with a new model, and the flooring, walls, and ceiling in the washroom will be renewed with cushion floor and new cloth.
The kitchen will be replaced with a new system kitchen from Housetec, featuring an artificial marble countertop that is resistant to scratches, a large sink for easy cleaning, and a three-burner gas stove with one-touch ignition. A new range hood with a 40W light will also be installed. The living room and dining room will have new flooring from Yodagiken, which is wax-free and resistant to scratches and dirt. The entrance door will be replaced, and the entrance tile will be overlaid with 30cm square tiles. A new shoe box with deodorizing shelves and adjustable height will be installed. A video recording function will be added to the intercom system.
The exterior walls and roof are scheduled for painting work. The balcony, which faces south for good sunlight, will have its floor and handrails painted. The garden has had its vegetation cleared, offering space for a storage shed or a kiddie pool. The property features a balcony as standard equipment. The house is located in a quiet residential area. The property comes with a 2-year warranty covering three major risks for used homes: rain leaks, defects or corrosion of major structural parts, and water leaks or failures in water supply and drainage pipes. Termite damage inspection and control work have also been conducted, with a 5-year warranty on termite control and two free inspections included. Parking is available for three cars.
