Traditional Farmhouse with Modern Living in Shizuoka City's Shimizu Ward
This property is a traditional Japanese farmhouse located in Kusagaya, Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The building, originally constructed in January 1947, has been carefully maintained and updated over the years. A significant renovation in November 1995 added a new living, dining, and kitchen area, centralizing the water-related facilities for enhanced convenience. The bathroom and washroom are designed for comfortable daily use.
The house features a layout of 11LDK plus a storage room (nando), with a total floor area of 226.18 square meters on a spacious land plot of 868.17 square meters. The structure is a two-story wooden building using a conventional post-and-beam construction method. Over time, the owners have made various improvements, including replacing tatami mats with flooring in some rooms, installing modern sash windows, and converting an earthen floor (doma) area into a hallway. These updates have preserved the property's charming Showa-era retro atmosphere while ensuring it remains livable.
The property includes a garden and a vegetable patch. Parking is available for two cars with a carport. The kitchen is equipped with a system kitchen featuring a three-burner gas stove with a grill and a sink facing the living area. There are two toilets, one of which includes a urinal. The home has a warm water bidet toilet seat and a heated water supply system. The property is connected to the public water supply and uses individual LP gas. The site is in a scenic area with views of the countryside and benefits from good sunlight and ventilation. The current owner resides in the home, offering potential buyers a chance to learn about the living experience and neighborhood atmosphere.
This property is located in a moderately rural area that still offers convenient access to shopping and transportation. It is a 2-minute walk from the Kusagaya bus stop, which is a 19-minute bus ride from Shimizu Station on the JR Tokaido Main Line. The property is situated in an urbanization control area and has some regulatory restrictions under the Landscape Act and the Outdoor Advertising Ordinance. There are specific purchase conditions: the buyer must use the property as their primary residence (second homes are not permitted) and must not already own residential real estate within Shizuoka City. For further details, inquiries are welcome.
