Spacious 6LDK Family Home in Kobe's Utashikiyama Area
This substantial two-story wooden house, built in February 1979, offers a generous 167.58 square meters of living space across a 6LDK layout, situated on a 174.90 square meter plot of land in Kobe's Tarumi Ward. The property is conveniently located a 12-minute walk from Kasumigaoka Station on the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line, providing excellent access to the wider Kobe and Osaka regions. The home is currently occupied and available for a viewing, with a planned handover in late May 2026.

The bathroom includes a reheating function (追い焚き), a bath dryer, and a shower-equipped vanity. The toilet is fitted with a washlet (bidet seat). Indoor amenities include a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and underfloor heating.

Utilities are connected to public water, city gas, and sewer systems.
Significant renovation work was completed in December 2011, including roof and exterior wall painting, kitchen replacement, toilet unit replacement and new washlet installation on the second floor, and ceiling/wall wallpaper replacement in the LDK, entrance, first-floor hallway, and second-floor Western-style room. The living room flooring was also replaced. More recently, in September 2022, the water heater was replaced, and the unit bath was renewed. Please note that furnishings and movable items are not included in the sale price. The property includes an attached reinforced concrete single-story garage with a flat roof, measuring 21.60 square meters.
The surrounding area of Utashikiyama in Tarumi Ward is a peaceful residential neighborhood. An interesting local fact is that nearby Mount Kabuto offers panoramic views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, the world's longest suspension bridge. The closest major landmark is the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge itself, a marvel of modern engineering and a popular tourist destination offering spectacular night-time illumination and a museum detailing its construction.
