Hybrid Design Home in Shinjuku's Quiet Nishi-Ochiai Neighborhood
This three-story residence, built in May 2011, presents a hybrid structural approach combining reinforced concrete (RC) on the first and second floors with wood framing on the third floor. The property is located in the Nishi-Ochiai 2-chome area of Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, approximately a 7-minute walk from the Shimbashi Line's Araiyakushi-mae Station and a 13-minute walk from the Toei Oedo Line's Ochiai-minami-nagasaki Station. A bus from JR Chuo Line's Nakano Station also reaches the area in about 8 minutes, with a 2-minute walk from the Tetsugakudo Park entrance stop.
The interior features solid oak flooring throughout all floors, complemented by underfloor heating for comfortable living. The walls on the first and second floors are finished with natural plaster, offering humidity control and a soft visual texture. The living, dining, and kitchen area is situated on the third floor, providing good views and a balance of privacy and openness. The kitchen is equipped with a three-burner IH induction cooktop for easy cleaning. The second floor houses a spacious approximately 12.5-tatami-mat Western-style room, which can be reconfigured into two separate rooms (subject to additional construction work). The bathroom is a generous approximately 1.25-tsubo size, with a powder room. A service room on the first floor can potentially be converted into a parking space (subject to additional construction work).
Other equipment includes a system kitchen, a bathroom dryer, a dishwasher, a water purifier, a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet, an auto-bath system, a TV monitor intercom, and a security system. The property has city gas, public water, and main sewer connections. It features a terrace, a storage room (nando), and two balconies. The building has triple-aspect lighting and good ventilation. The land rights type is freehold (shoyuken). The property is located in a quiet residential area, with Tetsugakudo Park and a My Basket supermarket both a 2-minute walk away.
