Renovated Home in Ogimachi, Saga Prefecture
This detached house is located in Ogimachi, Ogi City, Saga Prefecture, and is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation. The property offers a total floor area of 108.58 square meters on a substantial land plot of 299.66 square meters. The building is a two-story wooden structure constructed in December 1991.
The renovation will transform the first floor by connecting two Japanese-style rooms to create a spacious approximately 16-tatami mat LDK (living, dining, and kitchen area). A new system kitchen will be installed in an island-facing layout. Flooring throughout the first floor will be replaced with new hardwood, while walls and ceilings will receive new cross wallpaper. Lighting fixtures will also be replaced. The existing kitchen space will be converted into a western-style room of approximately 5.5 tatami mats, complete with new flooring, wall and ceiling finishes, and a new half-width closet. The entrance area will feature cleaned tile, new wall and ceiling cross, and a low-type shoe box. The hallway will receive layered hardwood flooring, new cross on walls and ceilings, and new lighting.
On the second floor, the northeast-side Japanese-style room will have its closet removed to become a western-style room of approximately 7.5 tatami mats, with new layered hardwood flooring and cross finishes. Adjacent to this room is a walk-in closet of approximately 3 tatami mats. The southwest-side western-style room of approximately 8 tatami mats will also receive new layered hardwood flooring, cross finishes, and a new closet with shelving and folding doors. The staircase will be fitted with a new handrail. Both the first and second-floor toilets will be replaced with new Janis brand units featuring warm-water washing functions. The bathroom will be replaced with a new unit bath from Houstec, measuring one tsubo (approximately 3.3 square meters) in size, allowing for comfortable bathing. The washroom of approximately 2 tatami mats will receive a new vanity from Yodai Sangyo with a 17-liter washbasin and LED lighting. A new monitor-equipped intercom will be installed, and the front door and exterior light will be replaced. Exterior wall painting will be carried out.
The parking area has been expanded to accommodate up to four cars in parallel and tandem configurations. The front road is a prefectural road with a width of approximately 6.8 meters, which includes a sidewalk. The property is connected to the public sewer system. The renovation includes a two-year warranty against the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects or corrosion in main structural parts, and water leaks or failures in water supply and drainage pipes. Termite damage inspection and prevention treatment are also included, with a five-year warranty on the termite control work.
The property is situated approximately 1000 meters (a 13-minute walk) from JR Nagasaki Main Line's Zushi Station, providing convenient access for commuting or school. Nearby amenities include the Morinaga Celio Zushi store approximately 700 meters away for daily shopping. The area is served by Zushi Elementary School and Zushi Junior High School, both within walking distance.
