This well-maintained two-story house, built in December 1988, offers a generous 145.87 square meters of living space on a 196.41 square meter plot in Kobe's Hino-mine 1-chome. The property features a 5SLDK layout, providing ample room for a growing family. Key equipment includes a system kitchen with a counter, an IH cooktop, a bath with reheating function and a dryer, a shower-equipped vanity, a bidet toilet, walk-in closets, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor intercom, and underfloor heating. The home is noted for its all-electric system, barrier-free design, south-facing orientation, and a parking space with an electric shutter.
Special notes from the agent detail that the house was constructed by the former Yawata National Housing Corporation. It is located in a designated residential land development control area and a Building Standards Act Article 22 zone. The front road is a public road approximately 6 meters wide. Three rooms on the second-floor south side face a balcony, and there is a walk-in closet of approximately 3 tatami mats in size. The property uses public water supply, city gas, and sewer systems. There is an indoor space for a washing machine, which helps prolong the appliance's lifespan. The property is currently occupied, and viewings are possible.
The area is served by the Kobe Electric Railway Arima Line, with Minatani Station a 14-minute walk away. The Hokushin area of Kobe is known for its lush, green residential neighborhoods nestled in the rolling hills, offering a peaceful retreat from the city center while maintaining good access. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Kobe City Forest Botanical Garden is one of Japan's leading botanical gardens, specializing in plants from temperate regions around the world and featuring over 1,200 species of trees and shrubs. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mount Rokko, a popular destination for hiking, panoramic night views of Osaka Bay, and seasonal tourism.
