Renovated Spacious Family Home in Hofu, Yamaguchi
This property is a fully renovated two-story wooden house located in the Sano district of Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The comprehensive renovation, scheduled for completion in March 2026, includes a complete overhaul of both interior and exterior. The price includes consumption tax and all renovation costs, and viewings are possible even while work is ongoing.
Key renovations include exterior work such as parking lot expansion, exterior wall painting, and garden tree removal. The interior is receiving a full upgrade: the system kitchen, unit bath, washlet toilet, washbasin vanity, and entrance door are all being replaced with new items. Floors are being re-laid with new flooring and cushion flooring, all walls and ceilings are being re-papered, fixtures are being replaced, and new closets and shoe boxes are being installed. A video door phone and fire alarms are also part of the new installations. The lighting throughout the house is being replaced with new LED fixtures, allowing for immediate living upon move-in.
The property features a spacious 4LDK layout. The highlight is an expansive approximately 21-jo (approx. 34 sq m) L-shaped LDK (Living-Dining-Kitchen) area on the ground floor, which benefits from a south-facing sliding window overlooking the parking area, ensuring brightness throughout the day. The first floor contains two rooms: a bright 12-jo Western-style room with two-sided lighting and a 1.5-ken sized closet, ideal as a master bedroom, and a Japanese-style room adjacent to the LDK with a south-facing window. The second floor has two 6.5-jo Western-style rooms. The kitchen is a new, spacious counter kitchen facing the living area, planned for propane gas. The unit bath is new and includes a bath dryer. The toilet is spacious, allowing for shelves or plants. The entrance hallway features sensor-activated lighting. The U-shaped staircase to the second floor is being fitted with a new handrail.
Additional features and notes from the agent include: the house is all-electric, reducing fire risk; it faces south for good sunlight; it includes a parking lot; and it has a wide interval between neighboring houses for privacy. The property comes with a 2-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion of main structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks/failures. A termite prevention treatment with a 5-year guarantee (from the construction company for the treated areas) has also been conducted. The expanded parking area has two entrances/exits, allowing for through traffic, and can accommodate 4 to 5 standard cars. The land is a corner lot with road frontage to the south (4.0m public road) and east (5.0m public road). The property is currently vacant.
The area offers a peaceful residential setting. Hofu City is historically significant as the location of Hofu Tenmangu Shrine, one of the major Tenmangu shrines in Japan dedicated to the scholar Sugawara no Michizane. The shrine is famous for its plum blossoms and autumn foliage. The property is approximately a 5.5km drive from JR Hofu Station on the Sanyo Main Line, providing regional rail access.
