A Well-Positioned Home in Arakawa's Evolving Neighborhood
This detached house, built in February 1982, offers a solid foundation in the dynamic Arakawa Ward of Tokyo. The property features a 4DK layout within a two-storey wooden structure, providing a total floor area of 66.12㎡ (approximately 20.00 tsubo). The land parcel measures 56.71㎡ (approx. 17.15 tsubo), with a noted private road area of 9.23㎡. The building is situated on a flat plot within a commercial zone, which permits a high building coverage ratio of 80% and a floor area ratio of 240%.
Critical details from the agent notes provide essential context. The road access situation is detailed as follows: it fronts a one-way road to the northwest with a width of 3.4 meters, is a private road with a frontage of 4.9 meters, and has no designated position. Further remarks clarify the land specifics: a setback area of 1.34㎡ is required. The terrain is flat. The aforementioned building coverage and floor area ratios are the values after restrictions applied in the quasi-industrial district. In the commercial zone, the building coverage ratio is 80% and the floor area ratio is 240% (due to road width restrictions). The property is currently occupied by the owner.
The location in Minami-Senju offers excellent connectivity, being just a 6-minute walk from the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line's Minowa Station, with Nippori and Ueno easily accessible. The area is historically significant as part of the old Senju post town on the Nikko Kaido, a major highway during the Edo period. Today, it blends traditional shitamachi atmosphere with modern convenience. A major nearby landmark is the historic Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, one of Tokyo's oldest and most visited Buddhist temples, which is just a short train ride away.
