Renovated Two-Story Home in Kawanehoncho with Scenic Views and Flexible Ownership Options
This detached wooden two-story house is located in the Takago district of Kawanehoncho, Shizuoka Prefecture. Constructed in 1988, the property offers a total floor area of 132.45 square meters with a 7DK layout. The land area measures 116.95 square meters. The property sits on elevated ground, providing good views of the surrounding area.
The home was renovated in 2025 (Reiwa 7) as a rental property aimed at individuals relocating from outside the town. Renovation work included replacing the kitchen, replacing flooring in the kitchen and washroom, replacing sliding doors and shoji screens, and a full cleaning. The interior, including the kitchen, toilet, and bath, is clean and does not require any repairs before moving in. The only tenant responsibility regarding move-in is the cost of changing the front door lock.
This property is available for both purchase and a unique 'transfer-type rental' system. Under the transfer-type rental agreement, the tenant pays monthly rent for a fixed period of 7 years. Upon completion of this period, ownership of the property is transferred to the tenant at no additional cost (0 yen). This system requires no housing loan screening, only a tenant screening process. Early purchase before the 7-year term is also possible under separate provisions.
The property features a propane gas heating system. The toilet is a Western-style flush toilet. A sunken kotatsu (horigotatsu) is installed. The property includes a terrace and a balcony. Parking is available for one vehicle on-site (light vehicles only) and one additional off-site space (for standard vehicles, at a monthly cost of 1,000 yen per space). The septic tank requires annual cleaning (approx. 45,000 yen/year) and periodic legal inspections (5,500 yen per inspection).
Pets are permitted with an additional one-month deposit for restoration upon moving out. If the transfer is executed after 7 years, this deposit is fully refunded. DIY renovations are allowed with the owner's consent. A guarantee company is required, with an initial fee of 29,500 yen and a monthly fee of 885 yen. A cleaning fee upon moving out and fire insurance are tenant responsibilities. The existing air conditioner is operational but the landlord provides no warranty for its continued operation. To watch television, a separate TV antenna installation (estimated at 99,000 yen) is required, with the cost borne by the tenant. Early termination of the lease is permitted without penalty. The property is conveniently located near schools (elementary and junior high school 0.3 km), a clinic (0.3 km), and a home center (0.4 km). Prospective residents are expected to participate in local community activities and events.
