This charming two-story wooden terrace house, built in February 1968, offers a comfortable 43.74 sqm (approximately 13.23 tsubo) of living space in a highly convenient location. The property features a 3K layout, providing distinct kitchen, dining, and living areas for a balanced home life. A significant advantage for tenants is the financial ease of entry, as the listing specifies a zero deposit (敷金・精算無) and no key money (礼金・償却無). The monthly rent is a reasonable 40,000 yen, with no additional monthly management or common area fees.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with a separate bath and toilet, a usable gas stove (propanegas), and a dedicated bicycle parking area.

The lease term is two years with a renewal fee-free system, though it requires tenant insurance (approximately 18,000 yen for two years) and enrollment in a rental guarantee scheme (Japan Safety Guarantee, 20,000 yen, renewal required).
The location is a major highlight, being just a 2-minute walk from Hagiwaratenjin Station on the Nankai Koya Line, providing superb access to central Osaka and surrounding areas. The area is residential and well-serviced, with convenience stores and local amenities within easy reach. An interesting historical fact about Sakai City is that it was once one of Japan's most important trading ports during the Sengoku period and is renowned for its traditional knife-making industry, which continues to this day. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Osaka Castle, a magnificent historic landmark surrounded by parklands, easily accessible via the train network from Hagiwaratenjin Station.
