GRAFARE: A Newly Built Detached Home in Tenri, Nara
GRAFARE in Tenri City's Nagahara-cho presents an opportunity to own a newly constructed, earthquake-resistant detached home. This development features three distinct units, each offering a 4LDK layout with floor areas ranging from approximately 97.29 m² to 98.74 m² on land plots between 112.19 m² and 139.63 m². The property's exterior features a calm and familiar color palette that blends seamlessly into the neighborhood streetscape.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment and facilities are registered under building confirmation number: HPA-25-09260-1 and others. The homes are constructed with a strong focus on seismic safety, utilizing the original I.D.S construction method—a panel-based system with high quake resistance that also allows for flexible interior layouts. Traditional Japanese construction methods are also employed, reinforced with modern metal fittings for enhanced durability. Every unit in the development achieves the highest seismic grade, Level 3, offering 1.5 times the earthquake resistance required by building standards. Furthermore, all units obtain double certification under the Housing Performance Indication System for both design and construction, providing an objective guarantee of quality.
Interior features include a living room designed for relaxing with family and guests, bathed in soft natural light. All rooms come with closets, ensuring space even after placing beds. Key specifications include interior finishes designed to minimize formaldehyde emissions for sick house syndrome prevention, double-glazed windows for insulation and energy efficiency, a bathroom with a heat-retaining tub, a shower-equipped vanity, a TV monitor intercom, a bathroom dryer, and a spacious washbasin with a large mirror. The foundation is a reinforced concrete slab, and the site has undergone thorough ground surveys. The property also includes parking for two vehicles.
The area of Tenri is rich in history and culture. An interesting fact is that Tenri City is the headquarters of Tenrikyo, one of Japan's major new religions, founded in the 19th century. The city is designed around the Tenrikyo headquarters, creating a unique urban layout. The closest major landmark is the historic Omiwa Shrine, one of Japan's oldest Shinto shrines, located just a short drive away in neighboring Sakurai City. This sacred site, nestled at the base of Mount Miwa, is a significant cultural and spiritual destination.
