Spacious 4LDK Family Home with Generous Land in Kobe's Sakuragaoka
This well-maintained single-family home, built in 1991, offers a fantastic opportunity in the sought-after Sakuragaoka area of Kobe's Nishi Ward. The property sits on a substantial 263.61 sqm (approximately 79.74 tsubo) plot of land, providing ample outdoor space and privacy. The house itself features a comfortable 154.62 sqm (approximately 46.77 tsubo) floor plan with a 4LDK layout, including a combined living and dining-kitchen area of about 20 tatami mats and a separate 12-tatami mat living room.
Key features and equipment, as detailed in the agent notes, include a system kitchen with a counter layout, allowing for easy interaction with family while cooking. The kitchen is equipped with an IH cooktop. The bathroom features a reheating function (追い焚き) and a bath dryer. Other notable interior amenities include a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet seat, underfloor heating, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and a walk-in closet.

The property is currently vacant (空家) and has undergone partial renovations in the common areas, including wall and floor updates and a range hood replacement in January 2016. The location offers a balance of suburban tranquility and accessibility, situated approximately a 3-minute walk from the Sakuragaoka Nakamachi 5-chome bus stop after a 16-minute bus ride from the Sakae Station on the Kobe Electric Railway Ao Line.
The Sakuragaoka area is a pleasant residential district known for its community atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that the area is part of a community development agreement (桜が丘地区まちづくり協定), indicating active resident involvement in maintaining and improving the neighborhood's environment and aesthetics. For recreation and tourism, residents have relatively easy access to the scenic Arima Onsen hot spring town, one of Japan's oldest and most famous hot spring resorts, located in the northern mountains of Kobe.
