Semi-Ordered Home "Rasit" Shonan Matsubayashi 3-Chome: A Customizable New Build in a Peaceful Neighborhood
This property is a semi-ordered new construction home located in a quiet residential area of Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The development consists of 16 units, offering a unique blend of pre-designed efficiency and personal customization. The home sits on a spacious plot of over 100 square meters, providing ample room for a garden and outdoor living.
According to the agent's notes, this is a semi-order home with extensive customization options. Buyers can select the exterior appearance, interior finishes, kitchen style, and external landscaping. Floor plan changes and free-plan layouts are also possible. For those interested, the land alone is also available for purchase. A critical financial detail is that this is a direct sale from the seller, meaning no brokerage commission is required. The listing mentions a potential financing option with an annual interest rate of 0.7% (variable) over 35 years, with monthly repayments and an additional 200,000 yen added during bonus periods (twice a year). It is emphasized that all listed prices include tax.
The property features a modern design that harmonizes with the streetscape while allowing personal expression. Key specifications include ZEH (Net Zero Energy House) level energy efficiency and the highest seismic grade of 3 as standard, though the agent notes these ratings may not apply if the floor plan is modified. Insulation is provided by sprayed foam urethane, and all windows feature high-performance aluminum-resin composite frames. The home includes a large walk-in closet, and the bathroom offers a high degree of customization with choices for tub type, color, flooring, and wall panels. The kitchen can be selected from two major manufacturers, RIKULIS and TAKARA STANDARD, with options for IH cooking, dishwasher, and full-flat designs.
The location is in a calm residential zone, approximately 500 meters from a main road, ensuring minimal traffic and good sunlight. The area is well-served by local amenities, including supermarkets, convenience stores, and parks within a short walk. Chigasaki is part of the famed Shonan region, known for its relaxed coastal vibe and surfing culture. An interesting fact about the area is that Chigasaki City is often considered the birthplace of Japanese surfing, with its long, sandy beaches attracting enthusiasts since the 1960s. The closest major landmark is the iconic Enoshima Island, a small offshore island connected by a bridge, famous for its shrine, sea caves, aquarium, and panoramic views of Mount Fuji on clear days.
