Spacious Mansion with Basement and Garage for Three Cars in Kobe
This expansive mansion, located an 8-minute walk from Minatani Station on the Kobe Electric Railway Arima Line, offers over 300 square meters of luxurious living space. The property features a large, shutter-equipped garage capable of accommodating three cars (depending on vehicle type). The building's significant size is matched by its thoughtful design and high-quality equipment.
The agent's notes detail a comprehensive list of features and equipment. The property is connected to public water, city gas, and sewer systems. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop featuring three burners, allowing for simultaneous cooking of multiple dishes. The home includes a dishwasher/dryer, underfloor heating, and a bathroom of exceptional size, exceeding one tsubo (approximately 1.6m x 1.8m). For convenience, there are two separate washbasin areas and two or more toilets. Storage is abundant with walk-in closets, built-in closets in all rooms, and a shoe-in closet. The interior boasts wooden flooring, a sunken entryway (土間) with high design appeal, and a balcony. The living room is fitted with a wood-burning stove, and one Japanese-style room uses Ryukyu tatami mats, creating a relaxing space with a view of the garden. The property is south-facing, ensuring good sunlight, and is situated on a regular-shaped plot of land. A unique and versatile feature is the reinforced concrete (RC) basement, accessible from the parking area, which can be used for activities like karaoke.
The area of Kobe's Kita Ward offers a blend of residential tranquility and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kobe Municipal Forest Botanical Garden is one of Japan's leading botanical gardens, specializing in woody plants and featuring over 1,200 species of trees and shrubs across its vast grounds. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Arima Onsen, one of Japan's oldest hot spring resorts, easily accessible via the same Kobe Electric Railway line from Minatani Station.
