Unique Industrial Studio Loft at Inokashira Line Ikenoue Station
This newly built designer residence is situated directly within Ikenoue Station on the Keio Inokashira Line in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. The property offers an unprecedented living experience where the station itself becomes part of the home. The entrance is mere seconds from the ticket gate, allowing residents to enjoy maximum convenience without needing an umbrella on rainy days or worrying about a long walk home.
The unit features a studio layout with a loft, finished with a mortar floor that creates a soil-like living space. The ceiling height reaches 3.2 meters, providing a strong sense of openness. The loft area is spacious at 6.4 tatami mats, suitable for use as a sleeping space or storage, though access is via a narrow ladder. The kitchen is wide and does not feel cramped. The bathroom is generously sized, and the toilet is a private separate room. The washstand does not have built-in storage, allowing residents to arrange their own shelving.
The property's exterior design incorporates railway-themed elements, including old sleepers embedded in the concrete paving and scraps from train rails used for the building's nameplate. There is no balcony, so laundry must be dried indoors or using the bathroom dryer. Residents should be aware of train noise and crossing gate sounds, making it less suitable for those who prefer to keep windows open. The building is a three-story reinforced concrete structure, and this unit is on the first floor. It includes a parking space for bicycles (one per unit free of charge), but no car parking or motorcycle parking. The property is equipped with city gas, an air conditioner, a separate bath and toilet, a heated toilet seat, a separate washbasin, a bathroom dryer, a gas stove with two or more burners, a counter kitchen, a TV monitor intercom, internet connectivity, and a BS antenna.
