Spacious 4LDK Family Home in a Quiet Nara Neighborhood
This charming two-story wooden house, built in 1997, offers a comfortable and bright living environment in the quiet residential area of Shikishima-cho, Nara City. The property is conveniently located approximately a 13-minute walk from Ayameike Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line, providing easy access to central Nara and Osaka. The home sits on a generous plot of approximately 57 tsubo (190.27 sqm), with ample space between neighboring houses, ensuring privacy and a sense of openness.
The interior has been thoughtfully renovated in 2019, featuring a comprehensive refresh of the water areas including the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and washbasin, as well as new wallpaper throughout all rooms. The 4LDK layout provides versatile living spaces, including a bright and spacious living-dining-kitchen (LDK) area with large windows that allow for excellent natural light and ventilation. The kitchen is equipped with a system kitchen featuring a large sink and countertop, a three-burner gas stove, and a dedicated indoor space for a washing machine, which helps extend the appliance's lifespan. The home includes two toilets, both with windows for light and ventilation, and one features a washlet with warm water cleaning. Additional amenities include a walk-in closet, storage in every room, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and underfloor heating. The property is also equipped with a balcony offering pleasant views.
Key features of the property, as noted by the agent, include its all-electric system, barrier-free design, south-facing orientation, and the inclusion of a parking lot for two vehicles. The surrounding neighborhood is described as a quiet, peaceful residential area that harmonizes well with nature, making it an ideal living environment for families with children. Daily life is supported by nearby facilities such as a hospital, drugstore, banks, convenience stores, and parks.
The area of Nara is steeped in history, famously known as Japan's first permanent capital. A short train ride from Ayameike Station will take you to the heart of Nara Park, a vast public park that is home to hundreds of freely roaming deer, considered messengers of the gods in Shinto belief. The park also contains several of Japan's most significant historical treasures, including the iconic Todai-ji Temple, which houses a colossal bronze statue of Buddha.
