Vintage 1958 Japanese House with Traditional Features in Sano, Tochigi
This property is a detached wooden house built in April 1958 (Showa 33), featuring a two-story structure with a traditional tiled roof. The layout is a spacious 6K, offering multiple rooms for flexible living arrangements. The property includes ancillary buildings: a workshop and a storage shed, providing practical utility space. The land area is a generous 311.57 sqm (approximately 94.24 tsubo), with the building itself covering 103.93 sqm (approximately 31.43 tsubo).
Key equipment and facilities include propane gas, city water supply, a pit toilet, a sunken kotatsu (a traditional Japanese heated table), electricity, a shampoo dresser, and lighting fixtures included. The road access is to a public road on the west side, with a width of 8.3 meters.
Critical special notes from the agent must be considered. The property is sold 'as-is' with the seller responsible for removing remaining items. There is an unregistered extension in the current condition related to an Inari shrine (a small Shinto structure). Ownership transfer for this unregistered structure will be handled via a notification process, which may make it difficult to obtain a standard housing loan. Details regarding the shared water supply pipe diameter and intake are unknown, as is the drainage outlet for grey water. There is a possibility that the fence, power lines, and plantings encroach on neighboring land. If rebuilding, a development permit will be required as the property is within an Article 11 ordinance area. The building area includes unregistered portions based on an outline document, so the actual area may differ. A land survey has not been conducted. The seller is exempt from liability for non-conforming contracts. The transaction is a standard sale.
