Farnest Chuo-Rinkan: A Spacious and Well-Equipped Condominium in Yamato City
This well-maintained condominium, located in the Farnest Chuo-Rinkan complex, offers a comfortable 2SLDK layout with a generous 77.02㎡ (approximately 23.29 tsubo) of private floor area. Built in February 2007, this south-west facing unit is situated on the 2nd floor of a 5-storey reinforced concrete building, providing a stable and quiet living environment. The property features a walk-in closet in the balcony-equipped Western-style room and a Japanese-style room of approximately 5.3 tatami mats with a built-in closet. The kitchen includes a utility space at the rear, adding to the home's practical storage solutions.
Key equipment and features translated from the agent notes include a storage room, bathroom dryer, and an auto-lock security system for the building entrance. The unit is a corner residence, benefiting from extra light and ventilation. The building complex has over 30 units in total, with on-site parking available for rent (monthly fees ranging from ¥500 to ¥5,000). Recent renovations completed in August 2023 include replacement of wallpaper throughout all rooms, replacement of the range hood and gas stove, replacement of CF (likely flooring), and re-covering of the tatami mats, ensuring the interior feels fresh and modern.
The location is highly convenient, with Chuo-Rinkan Station on both the Odakyu Enoshima Line (13-minute walk) and the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line (14-minute walk) providing excellent dual-line access to central Tokyo and Yokohama. Daily life is supported by supermarkets and convenience stores within a 10-minute walking radius. The area is also family-friendly, with Green Elementary School a 7-minute walk away and Minami-Rinkan Junior High School a 10-minute walk.
An interesting fact about the area is its proximity to the expansive Zama Lake Green Park, a large recreational area perfect for outdoor activities. The closest major landmark and tourist attraction is the historic Tsukui Castle Ruins (津久井城跡) in nearby Sagamihara, a scenic spot offering panoramic views and a glimpse into the region's samurai past.
