Rebel Garden: A Newly Built Detached House in Sayama, Saitama
This newly built detached house, named "Rebel Garden," is located in a quiet residential area of Minami-Iriso, Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture. The property is a Long-Term Excellent Housing certified home, ensuring high-quality construction standards. The 3LDK layout features a spacious 11.2-tatami Western-style room. A notable feature is the flexibility to adapt the space to your lifestyle; in the future, one room can be arranged into two separate rooms to serve as children's bedrooms (note that partition wall construction is a paid option).
The property boasts significant structural assurances. It has achieved the highest seismic grade, Seismic Grade 3, in the Housing Performance Evaluation, providing peace of mind against earthquakes. The construction utilizes a reinforced concrete mat foundation, shear-resistant washers to prevent wood displacement, and seismic metal fittings at key joints to enhance durability and resistance to distortion or collapse. Energy efficiency is also a priority, with the home meeting ZEH (Net Zero Energy House) standards. Features include Low-e double-glazed windows for superior insulation, a system kitchen with ample storage, a spacious one-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) bathroom, and motion-sensor lights for convenience and energy savings.
According to the agent's notes, the building permit was required as the property is located in an Adjustment Zone. Other regulations apply, including those under the Landscape Act, the Aviation Act, and it is within a land readjustment project control area. There are also sunlight restrictions (5h-3h/4m). The total building area includes approximately 3.64 sqm for the first-floor garage.
The agent offers detailed viewing tours tailored to buyer needs: a quick 30-minute tour focusing on the floor plan, a thorough 1-hour tour including fixtures and equipment, and a comprehensive 2-hour tour. They encourage visitors to take photos with digital cameras or smartphones for later review. The agent is prepared to guide potential buyers around the local area by car, showing facilities like elementary schools, supermarkets, and libraries expected to be used by families. They offer patient guidance for first-time home buyers and welcome families with small children. As there is no permanent guide on-site, prior contact for a viewing appointment is essential.
