Renovated Corner Lot House in Otaru with Ocean Views
This property is a detached house located in Katsuragi-cho, Otaru City, Hokkaido. It is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation and is being sold with all renovation costs and consumption tax included in the price. The house is situated on a corner lot with frontage on two public roads: an approximately 8.0m wide Otaru city road and an approximately 6.0m wide road.
The layout is a 3LDK. The first floor features a large, approximately 24-jo (tatami mat) LDK (Living, Dining, Kitchen) area. The second floor consists of three Western-style rooms. As part of the renovation, the first-floor south-facing 8-tatami Japanese room is being integrated into the LDK to create a more open space. A walk-in closet is being constructed in the LDK, and a shoe-in closet is being built by connecting the existing shoe box and storage room near the entrance. The second-floor southwest-facing 6-tatami Japanese room is being converted into a Western-style room, with the existing tokonoma (alcove) and closet fittings being replaced to create new closets.
Key renovation work includes: replacement of the system kitchen (which is being relocated to a counter-style setup), installation of a new unit bath and toilet, replacement of the washbasin vanity, replacement of wallpaper and flooring, replacement of some interior doors and the entrance door, installation of new lighting fixtures and an intercom, and replacement of the water heater. The property comes with a 2-year warranty covering three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion of major structural components, and leaks/failures of water supply and drainage pipes.
Notable features include an ocean view from the windows of the second-floor north-facing room (approx. 8-jo), which also has access to a balcony. The property faces south, ensuring good sunlight. It includes a built-in garage (approx. 2.8m wide x 4.6m deep x 1.8m high) with space for one additional compact car in front, allowing parking for two vehicles. The garden space is over 10 square meters, and the existing garden trees will be cut down. The house uses propane gas and public water and sewer systems.
The location is convenient, with the "Donguri Park" bus stop just 50 meters away (about a 1-minute walk). A bus ride from this stop takes about 15 minutes to Zenibako Station on the JR Hakodate Main Line. Katsuragi Elementary School is about 500m away (a 7-minute walk), Larz Mart Katsuragi store is about 800m away (a 10-minute walk or 2-minute drive), and a Seven-Eleven convenience store is about 850m away (a 9-minute walk). The Snow Cruise Oenzu ski resort is approximately 2.8km away (a 7-minute drive).
