Renovated Family Home in Kanazawa with Modern Amenities and Peace of Mind Guarantees
This property, located in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, is a detached house currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation to transform it into a clean, functional, and modern 3LDK home. The price includes consumption tax and all renovation costs. The renovation is in progress, but viewings can still be arranged by appointment.
The renovation plan includes significant upgrades. The exterior will feature new paintwork, and the block wall will be removed to create a new inner garage, expanding parking capacity to accommodate one regular car and one light vehicle. The layout is being changed to a 3SLDK configuration, with a bedroom on the first floor, making it ideal for families with young children. Specific room renovations include a 5.5-tatami Western-style room on the first floor, featuring new flooring, wallpaper, lighting, and fixtures, plus a new closet. On the second floor, a 7-tatami Western-style room will have cushioned flooring, new wallpaper, lighting, and fixtures, and will provide access to the balcony, with a new open closet planned. A spacious 10.5-tatami Western-style room is also planned for the second floor, perfect for a master bedroom.
The core living areas are being completely refreshed. A new LIXIL system kitchen is planned, along with new wallpaper, flooring, two new grounded outlets, and new lighting. The existing bathroom will be replaced with a new 1-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) Haustec unit bath. The entrance will get a new door, intercom, and motion-sensor lighting for convenience. The interior entrance area will have a new shoe box, wallpaper, and lighting. A large, approximately 18.5-tatami LDK (living-dining-kitchen) is being created with new flooring, wallpaper, lighting, and fixtures. The engawa (veranda) will be incorporated into the living space, and a sliding window will provide access to the garden. The existing washbasin will be replaced with a new Panasonic AWE washbasin/hair-washing/makeup counter, and the existing toilet will be replaced and relocated with a new Janis toilet with bidet functions.
Additional features include remote-controlled ceiling lights in all rooms, a balcony with a new polycarbonate roof and cleaning, and termite prevention work with a 5-year guarantee and two free inspections. Crucially, a seismic diagnosis is being performed during the renovation, with seismic reinforcement work planned to meet new earthquake resistance standards. Obtaining a seismic compliance certificate (at an additional cost) would make the property eligible for a mortgage tax reduction. The property also comes with a 2-year guarantee covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion of major structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks or failures.
