A Spacious and Private Family Home in Kobe's Tarumi Ward
This 4LDK detached house in Kobe's Tarumi Ward offers a unique living experience designed with privacy and comfort in mind. Built in 2006, the property cleverly utilizes the natural slope of the land to create a residence that feels secluded from neighboring views and passersby, ensuring a private sanctuary. The home spans a generous 107.94 sqm of floor space on a substantial 251.26 sqm plot, providing ample room for family life and outdoor activities.
The property features a comprehensive list of equipment and amenities. The kitchen is a highlight, equipped with a system kitchen, counter space, and an IH cooktop for easy cleaning and comfortable summer cooking. The home is all-electric and includes a bath with reheating function, a bathroom dryer, a shower-equipped vanity, and a washlet toilet. For comfort and convenience, it features underfloor heating, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone for security, and a walk-in closet. The living and dining area, exceeding 15 tatami mats in size, uses solid wood flooring to add warmth and a natural feel. Every room benefits from two-sided natural light and features easy-to-clean flooring. Additional notable features include a loft for storage, a dedicated laundry space in the garden eliminating the need to carry laundry up and down stairs, a wood deck, a south-facing balcony, and a crucial solar power generation system to help manage running costs.
Special notes from the agent emphasize the property's versatile and spacious garden, perfect for a family vegetable patch or even as a dog run. The layout is designed for efficiency, with all rooms being 6 tatami mats or larger, allowing each family member their own comfortable space. The location is also highly convenient, with access to two different train lines (the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line and the JR Sanyo Main Line), allowing for flexible commuting based on destination and schedule.
The property is situated in the Kita Maiko area of Tarumi Ward, a coastal district of Kobe known for its relaxed atmosphere and scenic views of the Seto Inland Sea. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Maiko Park is part of the Setonaikai National Park, Japan's largest national park which encompasses the entire Inland Sea region. The closest major landmark is the iconic Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, the world's longest suspension bridge at the time of its completion, which is easily accessible from the area and offers breathtaking night-time illumination.
