Spacious 2LDK Apartment in Osaka's Vibrant Ikuno Ward
This well-presented 2LDK apartment is located on the 14th floor of the 15-story "Verju Palace Imazato" building in Osaka's Ikuno Ward. The property offers a comfortable living space with a wall-core exclusive area of 56.4 sqm (approximately 17.06 tsubo), featuring a 4-tatami Western-style room, a 4.5-tatami Western-style room, and a combined 16-tatami Living-Dining-Kitchen area. A south-facing balcony of 9.9 sqm provides pleasant natural light.
The apartment has undergone comprehensive renovations in May 2024, including a full refurbishment of the wet areas and interior. The kitchen, toilet, washbasin area, and bathroom were all newly replaced, featuring a waterproof pan, new bath unit, a system kitchen, countertops, a washbasin vanity, and a toilet. The interior renovations included new flooring (such as hardwood) and wall coverings in all rooms. Key equipment includes a bidet toilet seat, bathroom dryer and heater, a washbasin with shower, a system kitchen, a dishwasher/dryer, ample storage space including closets in all rooms, a dedicated indoor washing machine space, a monitor intercom, hot water supply, elevator access, and available bicycle and motorcycle parking.
Located in Nakagawa 3-chome, the apartment is within a 12-minute walk from both Imazato Station on the Kintetsu Osaka Line and Imazato Station on the Kintetsu Namba/Nara Line, offering excellent connectivity. The property is currently vacant, with the handover timing open for discussion. The building is a steel-framed reinforced concrete (SRC) structure built in July 1993, managed by Global Community Co., Ltd. The monthly costs include a management fee of 3,420 yen and a repair reserve fund of 11,840 yen.
The surrounding Ikuno Ward is a culturally rich area of Osaka, known for its diverse communities and vibrant street life. An interesting local fact is that Ikuno is home to Tsuruhashi, often called "Korea Town," one of Japan's largest Korean districts, famous for its authentic yakiniku (Korean barbecue) restaurants and bustling market streets. The area is also conveniently located for access to major tourist attractions, with the iconic Osaka Castle being just a short train ride away, offering a glimpse into the city's samurai history amidst beautiful park grounds.
