Renovated 4LDK House with Sea Views in Kobe's Tarumi Ward
This spacious 4LDK detached house, located in the Miyamadai 1-chome area of Kobe's Tarumi Ward, is currently undergoing a comprehensive interior renovation scheduled for completion in November 2025. The property offers a rare combination of modern comfort and a scenic location, featuring direct views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and the Seto Inland Sea from its upper floors.
The renovation work is extensive and includes new flooring overlay, complete wallpaper replacement, and a full interior cleaning. The kitchen is being replaced with brand-new units, designed as a counter kitchen that allows you to cook while keeping an eye on the living area. The property features a system kitchen, IH cooking hob, and a dishwasher/dryer. The bathroom is equipped with a reheating function for the bath and a bath dryer, which is useful for drying laundry on rainy days and for keeping the bathroom dry and easy to clean. Other notable equipment includes a shower-equipped vanity, heated toilet seat, TV monitor intercom, and underfloor heating. The house is all-electric and features barrier-free design elements. Every room is equipped with storage, including walk-in closets in the Western-style rooms.
The layout is being reconfigured to create a large, open living space of approximately 20.7 tatami mats by removing sliding doors. The first floor includes a 6-tatami mat Japanese-style room with a traditional tokonoma alcove and closets, which is receiving new tatami mats and wallpaper. The third floor houses three bright Western-style rooms (5, 6, and 6 tatami mats), all with closets and benefiting from two-sided natural light. Multiple balconies provide open, expansive views, with the third-floor balcony specifically offering the scenic sea vista. The property includes one free parking space.
The area of Tarumi is a desirable residential part of Kobe, known for its relaxed atmosphere and coastal scenery. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is the world's longest central span suspension bridge. The closest major tourist attraction is the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge itself, a marvel of modern engineering and a stunning sight, especially when illuminated at night.
