The water areas received particular attention with a new face-to-face system kitchen, brand new bathroom, toilet, washbasin vanity, and gas water heater. Interior finishes feature new flooring overlay and ceiling/wall wallpaper replacement, while the exterior received a fresh coat of paint.
According to the agent's special notes, the property is currently vacant, and interested parties are encouraged to schedule viewings at their preferred dates free of charge. The agent also provides detailed monthly payment examples: for a loan of 2,500,000 yen, monthly payments would be approximately 48,791 yen with no down payment or bonus payments, based on a variable interest rate of 0.648% from an internet bank with preferential rates, over a 50-year repayment period. The agent emphasizes this is just one example and conditions apply.
