Renovated 4LDK Detached Home in Kurashiki's Quiet Residential Area
This detached house located in Kamihigashi, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation. The property is a two-story wooden structure built in October 1974, offering a total floor area of 91.85 square meters on a land size of 223.13 square meters. The layout is a 4LDK, featuring a living room that is being expanded to approximately 17 tatami mats during the renovation.
The renovation includes extensive interior updates. The living room, first-floor western-style rooms, and second-floor rooms will receive new flooring, wallpaper, and entrance doors. A traditional Japanese room on the first floor's west side and a central Japanese room (partially merged with the living area) are being converted into western-style rooms. The second-floor Japanese room is also being converted to a western style with new flooring and wallpaper. The kitchen will be updated with a House Tech brand dishwasher-equipped system kitchen featuring a Rinnai dishwasher-dryer and a sink with a center pocket shape for washing large pots. The kitchen faucet will be a shower type with a built-in water purifier. A thin sirocco fan will be installed for the kitchen ventilation. The built-in gas stove will be a 600mm wide type with Si sensors for automatic shut-off in case of burning. The bathroom will be a 1-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) unit bath from House Tech. The vanity will be replaced with a new House Tech three-mirror type. The toilet will be a new Janis brand unit with a warm water washing function. The entrance door will be replaced, and the tiled area around the entrance will be finished with siding. The balcony will receive deck material coating and a new corrugated roof sheet. A large carport is available, and its iron parts will be repainted. The roof has been replaced with genuine tiles, which require no maintenance until cracking. The property also includes a lockable storage shed of approximately 8 square meters at the back of the parking area.
The property is situated in a quiet residential area. It is a 41-minute walk from Nakasho Station on the Hakubi Line, and a 59-minute walk from Manabe Station. It is approximately a 4-minute drive (2 km) from Matsusaka Plaza Sho Store. Sho Elementary School is a 22-minute walk away. The property faces south, providing good sunlight due to the distance from the neighboring house. The land is flat and zoned as a low-rise residential exclusive district (city planning area: urbanization control area). The property includes parking for two cars. The property is currently vacant and comes with a 2-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects or corrosion of major structural parts, and water leaks or failures of water supply and drainage pipes. Termite prevention treatment includes a 5-year warranty and two free inspections.
