Spacious 7DK Home in Kobe's Nishiku with Excellent Access
This property is a spacious two-story wooden house located in the Sakae area of Oshibedani-cho, Kobe City's Nishi Ward. Positioned on a corner lot, it offers a generous total floor area of 141.45 square meters (approximately 42.8 tsubo) arranged in a 7DK layout, providing ample room for a large family or flexible living arrangements. The land itself spans 188.75 square meters (approximately 57.09 tsubo). Built in November 1969, this home presents a solid opportunity for those seeking a character property with significant potential.
The property is equipped with a range of modern amenities for comfortable living. The kitchen features a system kitchen with a counter and an IH cooking hob. The bathroom is outfitted with a reheating function and a dryer. Additional conveniences include a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet seat, walk-in closets, storage in all rooms, a TV monitor intercom, and underfloor heating. Notable features of the home include an all-electric system, barrier-free design elements, a south-facing orientation, and public water supply and propane gas. The agent's notes confirm the use of propane gas, which provides strong火力 (high heat output) for quick bath heating and cooking, and offers faster restoration of services in the event of a disaster compared to some utilities.
The location is highly convenient, being just a 4-minute walk from Sakae Station on the Kobe Electric Railway Ao Line, connecting residents easily to central Kobe and surrounding areas. The property is currently vacant and available for viewing. The surrounding area of Nishi Ward offers a blend of residential calm and natural beauty, being close to the foothills of the Rokko mountain range. An interesting local fact is that the ward is home to the Kobe City Museum of Literature, housed in a former Western-style mansion. For a major tourist attraction, residents have relatively easy access to the iconic Arima Onsen, one of Japan's oldest and most famous hot spring resorts, located in the mountains north of Kobe.
