Renovated Family Home on Corner Lot in Quiet Oita Residential Area

This detached house located in the Fujimigaoka Nishi 2-chome area of Oita City, Oita Prefecture, is undergoing a comprehensive renovation. The property sits on a corner lot with a land area of 244.02 square meters, offering a spacious outdoor environment. The building, originally constructed in January 1977, has a total floor area of 85.11 square meters and is a single-story wooden structure.

The renovation includes significant upgrades throughout the home. The living room will be expanded to approximately 22 tatami mats in size. The kitchen will be replaced with a new unit from Housetec, featuring a wide 255-centimeter counter, a three-burner gas stove, and a water faucet with a built-in water purifier. The bathroom will be enlarged to a one-tsubo size and fitted with a new Housetec unit bath, including a bathroom dryer system to control humidity and aid in drying laundry. The toilet, washbasin, and entrance door will all be new. Flooring in the rooms will be overlaid with new flooring, and walls will be re-walled with new cloth. A new shoe cabinet will be installed at the entrance. The layout is being changed from its original configuration to a 3LDK plan, with three Western-style rooms replacing former Japanese-style rooms and a dining area. Each of these rooms will have new closets installed, including a 1.5-ken wide closet in the south-facing room. Seismic reinforcement work is also planned, which may make the property eligible for a housing loan tax reduction.

The property is located in a quiet, low-rise residential zone. It is approximately a 39-minute walk from Bungo-kokubu Station on the Kyushu Main Line. The area includes a supermarket, Tokiha Industry Fujimigaoka Store, about 550 meters away (approximately a 7-minute walk). The property offers parking for two cars. A termite prevention treatment with a five-year warranty will be carried out before handover.
