Spacious 4LDK Family Home in Katano City with Upcoming Renovations
This detached wooden house, built in May 1996, offers a generous 103.46 square meters of living space across three stories, situated on a 47.48 square meter corner lot in Katano City, Osaka Prefecture. The property is currently vacant and available for immediate handover. Its key features include a 4LDK layout, a free parking space with a shutter-equipped carport, and ownership rights to the land.
According to the agent's notes, the property is scheduled for a comprehensive renovation to be completed in early August 2025. The planned renovation work is extensive and includes: exterior wall painting on three sides and carport painting; waterproofing for the second-floor balcony; and the complete renewal of the system kitchen (with dishwasher), unit bath, water heater, heated toilet seat, washbasin, shoe cupboard, some fittings, tatami mats, lighting, switch and outlet panels, and the distribution board. Furthermore, the interior will be refreshed with new wallpaper and floor tile installation. An additional upgrade for double-glazed windows is planned for after early September 2025. It is also noted that the water heater was newly replaced in May 2023.
The home is equipped with a system kitchen featuring a countertop, a gas cooktop (the property uses propane gas, noted for strong flame and quick recovery in disasters), a shower-equipped vanity, a bath with reheating function and dryer, a heated toilet seat, and underfloor heating. Other amenities include a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor intercom, and double-pane windows. The property is described as barrier-free, south-facing, and all-electric.
The location is a three-sided corner lot, ensuring excellent sunlight and ventilation. It is a 20-minute walk from Katano-shi Station on the Keihan Katano Line. The surrounding area of Katano City is rich in nature, located at the foot of Mount Ikoma. A notable local attraction is the Hoshida Park, home to the famous "Hoshi no Buranko" (Star Swing), one of Japan's longest wooden suspension bridges, offering breathtaking views of the forested valley, especially stunning during the autumn foliage season.
