Sunshine Uozaki: A Ground-Floor Apartment with Private Garden in Kobe
This 3DK apartment, located on the first floor of the Sunshine Uozaki building in Kobe's Higashinada Ward, offers a rare combination of urban convenience and private outdoor space. Priced at 19.8 million yen, the property features a south-facing corner layout, ensuring excellent natural light, and includes a dedicated private garden—a highly sought-after feature for a ground-floor residence.
The apartment's equipment includes a bath with reheating function, an indoor space for a washing machine, a south-facing balcony, and a TV monitor intercom system for security. Infrastructure is supported by public water supply, city gas, and sewer systems. According to the agent's special notes, the current status is vacant, and interested parties are encouraged to freely inquire about their preferred dates for a free viewing appointment. Additional remarks note that the construction companies for the building were Hyoki Kensetsu Co., Ltd. and Shimizu Corporation.
With a total floor area of 58.32 sqm (wall-core measurement) and a 6.75 sqm balcony, the layout is practical for daily living. The building itself is a 4-story reinforced concrete structure built in September 1983, containing 20 units. Monthly fees include 7,890 yen for management and 11,660 yen for repair reserves, with an additional 1,300 yen monthly fee for the use of the private garden.
The location is exceptionally convenient, just a 2-minute walk from the Hanshin Main Line's Uozaki Station and a 4-minute walk from the Kobe New Transit Rokkō Island Line's Uozaki Station, providing swift access to central Kobe and Osaka. The Higashinada area is a pleasant, well-established residential district. An interesting local fact is that the area is part of Kobe's famed sake brewing region, with several historic breweries nearby. The closest major landmark is the scenic Rokko Island, a large artificial island with parks, marinas, and leisure facilities, easily accessible via the nearby train line.
