Renovated 3LDK Detached House in Otawara City, Tochigi Prefecture
This detached house located in the Jitsutori area of Otawara City, Tochigi Prefecture, is currently undergoing a full renovation scheduled for completion in May 2026. The property offers a comfortable living environment with a total floor area of 84.46 square meters on a spacious land plot of 216.09 square meters. The layout is a 3LDK, featuring living, dining, and kitchen areas along with three rooms, suitable for a family or as a potential two-generation home.
The renovation includes new cross-wall finishes, overlay flooring, and replacement of fittings throughout the property. The kitchen will be replaced with a new unit from Housetec, featuring an artificial marble countertop that is resistant to heat and scratches, making daily maintenance simple. The bathroom will also be a new Housetec unit bath, offering a spacious one-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) size for relaxing and stretching out after a long day. The toilet will be replaced with a new model from Janis, featuring a bidet seat and a design that reduces daily water usage by approximately 60%. The vanity unit will be new, equipped with a large washbowl suitable for washing face and hair, and includes an electrical outlet. The entrance door and tiles will be renewed, and a new intercom and entrance lighting will be installed. The shoe box will also be replaced.
One first-floor Japanese-style room and one second-floor Japanese-style room are scheduled to be converted into Western-style rooms. The staircase will receive overlay flooring and new handrails. The garden will undergo tree cutting, ground leveling, and gravel laying. The carport will be removed, and the frontage widened to allow for tandem parking of two cars. The property includes a balcony.
The house is covered by a two-year warranty against the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects or corrosion of main structural parts, and water leaks or failures in water supply and drainage pipes. The renovation includes inspection under the floor, termite damage investigation, and termite prevention treatment. The property is located in a quiet residential area with low traffic volume.
