Renovated One-Story House with Spacious Garden in Chichibu

This property is a used one-story house located in the Terao area of Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. The foundation is raised using heavy steel framing, which is a distinctive feature. Because the elevation difference from the road to the site is small, the heavy steel structure allows for effective use of the land, such as for parking underneath the building, maximizing the usable area. Access from the road into the property is via a slope, leading directly to parking under the foundation, offering great convenience. The site is spacious, measuring approximately 106 tsubo (352 square meters), providing ample room for a garden, vegetable patch, or other hobbies.

The building was constructed in May 1984 and complies with new seismic standards. The foundation, made of robust heavy steel, offers peace of mind. The property boasts excellent views. The interior was renovated several years ago by the owner, featuring a calm, Japanese-style atmosphere, and is largely in move-in ready condition. The ceiling space has been converted into attic storage, and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams creates an atmospheric interior.

Regarding potential drawbacks, the eastern boundary has a retaining wall approximately 2.5 meters high, which is well-constructed and safe. However, due to prefectural cliff regulations, any future rebuilding would require reinforcement of the building's foundation. The property is sold on an as-is basis, with the seller disclaiming responsibility for any non-conformities. A land survey has not been conducted in the past, so boundary markers are unclear in some areas, though block retaining walls on three sides make the boundary positions clear. The land area is based on public records and includes a setback (road setback). Access for large vehicles into the site may be challenging, so interested parties are encouraged to visit the property in person.
