Spacious Traditional Wooden House in Suzaka, Nagano
This property is a detached wooden house built in March 1974, located in Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture. The house has a total floor area of 77.01 sqm (approximately 23.29 tsubo) spread over two stories, situated on a land area of 67.49 sqm (approximately 20.41 tsubo). The layout is a 5K configuration, featuring five Japanese-style rooms: two 8-tatami rooms, two 6-tatami rooms, and one 3-tatami room, plus a 3-tatami kitchen. The building structure is wooden, and the property is registered with the local Akiya Bank. Some seismic reinforcement work was carried out in 2008 (Heisei 20).
Equipment and features include a bidet toilet seat, a bathroom with a window and an area of 1 tsubo or more, air conditioning, lighting fixtures, a fire alarm, city gas, electricity, tap water, sewerage, and an energy-saving water heater. Special notes indicate that the property is built in a row-house (nagaya) style, meaning that for any future reconstruction, separation from the adjacent unit would be necessary. Parking is available at a nearby monthly parking lot for 5,523 yen (an initial fee of 11,000 yen is required). The property is currently vacant, and the handover timing is negotiable.
