A Historic Terrace House in Kyoto's Prime Kamogawa-Shijo Area
This unique property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Kyoto's architectural heritage in the highly desirable Kamogawa-Shijo neighborhood. The terrace house, built in 1936, spans 149.66 square meters across two floors with a distinctive 10DK layout that offers generous living spaces and multiple rooms for flexible usage. The property features a south-facing orientation, providing excellent natural light throughout the day, and includes space for compact car parking at no additional cost.
