Functional Modern Home with Rooftop Views in Shimamoto, Osaka
This modern three-story wooden house, built in 2005, offers a functional and comfortable lifestyle in the quiet residential area of Shimamoto Town, Osaka Prefecture. The property is strategically designed to maximize its limited 50.00 sqm plot, featuring a 2SLDK layout with a total floor area of 73.90 sqm. A key highlight is the second-floor living room, which provides enhanced privacy from the road and neighboring houses. The home is further elevated by a rooftop balcony that offers sweeping views of the townscape and majestic mountains, creating a private, open space for relaxation and laundry.
The property is equipped with a range of modern amenities for ease of living. The kitchen features a white, systematic design with ample storage, an IH cooking hob for safe cooking, and a stainless steel countertop that is easy to clean. The bathroom includes a window for natural light and a temperature adjustment function for comfort. Other notable equipment includes a built-in garage for convenient unloading of shopping, a large-capacity shoe box and full-length mirror in the entrance, an open storage shelf in the living room, underfloor heating, a TV monitor intercom, a walk-in closet, and storage in all rooms. The home is all-electric, eliminating gas-related fire risks. Additional features include a parking space for one car (free of charge), a bicycle parking area, and two top lights on the third floor that provide high light intake while maintaining privacy.
According to agent remarks, the home is in a "livable town" with excellent access, approximately an 11-minute walk from both Hankyu Kyoto Line's Minase Station and JR Kyoto Line's Shimamoto Station, providing convenient routes to Takatsuki and Kyoto. The surrounding area is well-equipped with facilities. The property is currently vacant and ready for viewing. The agent also notes that they have a dedicated renovation team and are available for consultation on any remodeling plans.
The area of Shimamoto is nestled between Osaka and Kyoto, offering a peaceful suburban lifestyle with easy access to both major cities. An interesting local fact is that Shimamoto is home to the historic Minase Shrine, a site with deep connections to Japanese classical poetry. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Osaka Castle, a iconic national treasure located approximately 25 kilometers away, easily accessible via the JR line.
