Detached House in Kobe's Shiwa-dai, Featuring South-Facing Rooms and Ample Storage
This detached house, located in a quiet residential area of Kobe's Tarumi Ward, offers a practical and comfortable living environment. Built in June 2001 by a house maker as a custom-order home, the property is a two-story, light-gauge steel structure. A key feature is its 'total two-story' design, which provides benefits for earthquake and rain leak countermeasures, as well as ease of maintenance.
The layout is a 4SLDK, with all rooms facing south to ensure excellent natural light throughout the day. The home is noted for its abundant storage space, with each room designed for effective use. This includes a walk-in closet attached to the approximately 10-jo (tatami mat) master bedroom and built-in storage on both the first and second floors. The entrance hall also features storage.
The property is equipped with a system kitchen that integrates the cooking area, storage, and other functions, making cleaning and upkeep easier. The kitchen offers a view into the living room. The bathroom includes a re-heating function (追い焚き), allowing for warm baths at any time. Other equipment includes public water supply, city gas, sewer system, a dedicated bath and toilet, a gas cooktop (three-burner), hot water supply, a washbasin with shower attachment, underfloor storage, a dedicated garden, a balcony, flooring, a TV door phone, barrier-free features, a heated toilet seat, a counter kitchen, a separate washroom, a bathroom sized at 1 tsubo (approx. 1.6m x 1.6m) or larger, a shoe cupboard, a building confirmation completion inspection certificate, design documents from the time of new construction/renovations, a regular-shaped plot, two or more toilets, a stairwell void, a garden over 10 square meters, a wide balcony, double-glazed windows/sashes, and a garage with a high-roof parking space.
