Renovated Family Home with Views in Kobe's Higashinada Ward
This spacious 5LDK detached house in Kobe's Higashinada Ward has been comprehensively renovated and was completed in mid-July 2025. The property features a total floor area of 149.98 square meters and is situated on a 277.59 square meter plot. The renovation was designed by an architect with a focus on comfortable living.
The property's equipment and features include a rock garden-style approach with a gardening space. The entrance is welcoming with an open and pleasant feel, featuring an electrically locked insulated door. Inside, the home boasts a large Graphitec dual kitchen system, a spacious LDK of approximately 21.4 tatami mats that connects to a wooden deck offering scenic views, and a 1620-size bathroom with an artificial marble bathtub, a Hi+ mirrored ceiling, and a reheat function. The bathroom also includes a dryer. The washroom is hotel-like with ample storage, and the second-floor toilet has an independently installed hand-washing area for morning preparations. The home is equipped with underfloor heating, a TV monitor doorphone for security, and a socket compatible with electric vehicles (requiring voltage conversion work). Storage is plentiful, including a shoe box and storage by the entrance, a walk-in closet, and storage in every room.
Special notes indicate the property is on land leased from the General Incorporated Foundation Sumiyoshi Gakuen, with a lease fee of 21,707 yen and a lease period until March 2037. The property offers views from the terrace and a location that provides cool summer evenings. The architect paid careful attention to the flow of wind, borrowed scenery, and window layout. Structural reinforcement was implemented to enhance seismic performance beyond the existing new earthquake-resistant standards. The exterior walls and roof use next-generation Galvalume steel sheet (SGL steel sheet) for long-lasting aesthetics. Interior materials include authentic solid wood flooring and Japanese cypress wood-wool cement boards. The architect's detailed specifications extend to humidity control materials and a nanobubble water heater.
The property is located in Uzumori-dai 4-chome, Higashinada-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. Access is via the JR Tokaido Main Line, getting off at Sumiyoshi Station, taking a bus for 14 minutes, and then walking 5 minutes from the Uzumori-dai 4-chome bus stop. The surrounding area within a 757-meter radius (about a 10-minute walk) includes Kobe City Uzumori Elementary School.
