Comfortable Living in Kuroishi City, Aomori
This property in Kuroishi City, Aomori Prefecture, is a two-storey wooden house with a total floor area of 98.16 square meters on a 166 square meter plot. The asking price is 5,800,000 yen. The property is being sold as-is, with the existing building and land included.
The home is designed for energy efficiency and year-round comfort. A key feature is the snow-free roof combined with an energy-saving snow melting system that only heats the drain outlets, keeping running costs low. The interior stays cool in summer without air conditioning, even when outside temperatures exceed 30 degrees Celsius. In winter, the house is kept warm by retrofitted double-glazed windows and underfloor heating covering approximately two six-tatami-mat rooms.
The property uses well water, which eliminates water bills. The water is described as tasty and rich in minerals, providing a soft bath experience similar to a hot spring without bath salts. The well water pump has been replaced with a new unit. The unit bath was renovated about ten years ago at a cost of over one million yen, and both the toilet and bathroom are equipped with ventilation systems. Please note that the shower faucet was damaged by a cold wave but can be replaced for under 30,000 yen.
Additional equipment includes a top-model FF oil stove, an oil water heater for comfortable kitchen work, a new air conditioner, new keys, city gas and sewage connections, clean tatami mats and sliding doors, and a SKY PerfecTV! antenna. A floor inspection by Duskin has confirmed no termites. The property has a paved parking space and an area of soil suitable for a vegetable garden. A prefabricated shed previously used for keeping chickens can be dismantled at an estimated cost of 200,000 to 250,000 yen.
The house is located in an urban area, which offers quick recovery after disasters; it was restored within two days after the Great East Japan Earthquake. The street is a dead end, creating a quiet environment with minimal traffic. The neighborhood is safe and peaceful. Daily conveniences such as a supermarket, electronics store, drugstore, convenience store, gas station, hospitals, nursing facilities, restaurants, bank, bookstore, and coin laundry are all within walking or short driving distance.
Approximately six million yen worth of renovations and equipment updates have already been completed, including the exterior walls, roof, bathroom, and windows. Future work may be needed on the toilet, kitchen, shower faucet, and roof snow-melting heater, allowing a new owner to finish only the parts they prefer.
