Newly Built Three-Storey Home in Higashiosaka with Convenient Urban Access
This newly constructed three-storey detached house is situated in the Mikuriya Naka 1-chome area of Higashiosaka City, Osaka Prefecture. The property offers a 3LDK layout with a total floor area of 89.91 square meters on a land plot of 61.52 square meters. It is a single-unit development built by Wako Homes, a company with a history in urban housing since 1978.
The home is located within walking distance of multiple train stations, including Kintetsu Nara Line's Kawachi Kosaka and Yaenosato stations, both 13 minutes away on foot. The Chuo Subway Line's Nagata station is a 19-minute walk. This provides direct, transfer-free access to the Namba area, making the commute to central Osaka straightforward. The area around Kawachi Kosaka station is undergoing redevelopment, which is expected to bring further convenience to the neighborhood.
The interior features a spacious living-dining-kitchen (LDK) area of approximately 18 tatami mats, allowing for the placement of larger furniture. The kitchen is an open, face-to-face design that facilitates conversation during meal preparation. A counter space is included in the LDK, suitable for use as a study or work area. Storage is well-provided, with a walk-in closet (WIC), a pantry, and additional storage spaces in each of the western-style rooms. The house also includes a delivery box for receiving packages when not at home.
The property is designed to ZEH (Net Zero Energy House) standards, featuring a high level of insulation and energy efficiency. The construction uses a wooden frame panel method that combines design flexibility with seismic strength. Key structural features include a reinforced concrete foundation using steel bars 130% thicker than building code standards, and a perimeter ventilation system that provides 150-200% more ventilation than standard vents to prevent moisture and termite issues. The building incorporates seismic washers called 'Tightnic' at joints to maintain long-term earthquake resistance. A seismic dampening device by Sumitomo Rubber, named 'MAMORY', absorbs vibration energy. The house has achieved Seismic Grade 2, offering 1.25 times the strength required by building standards, and Deterioration Grade 3, the highest level, designed to allow the structure to last for 75-90 years with proper maintenance. The fire resistance specification meets quasi-fireproof standards, providing 45 minutes of fire protection.
The surrounding neighborhood is family-friendly, with a primary school (Fujito Elementary) a 9-minute walk away and several childcare facilities within a 7-minute walk. A supermarket (Bandai Mikuriya) and a drugstore (Welcia) are both within a 3-minute walk. The property is on flat, asphalt-paved land and includes a car space with a roof for convenient access during rain. All utilities are connected, including public water, main sewer, and city gas.
