Spacious Two-Generation Home in Awara City, Fukui
This substantial two-story wooden house, built in October 2012, offers a versatile layout ideal for multi-generational living. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Awara City, Fukui Prefecture, the property sits on a generous 330.57 sqm plot with a total building area of 216.85 sqm. The 5SLDK layout includes two separate living-dining-kitchen areas, providing privacy for two households under one roof.

Important remarks detail the road access: the property fronts a 6-meter wide public road to the north with a frontage of 13.2 meters. A note from the agent explains that due to previous cat protection activities, there are scattered scratches on the wallpaper. A full house cleaning is scheduled for October 31, 2027 (Reiwa 7), and those with allergies are advised to take caution.
Awara City is part of the renowned Fukui prefecture, known for its rich history and natural beauty. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Awara Onsen is one of the few hot spring resorts in Japan where the water is naturally milky white due to its colloidal sulfur content. The closest major landmark is the Tojinbo Cliffs, a spectacular series of rugged, columnar rock formations along the Sea of Japan coast, approximately a 30-minute drive away, offering breathtaking views and geological significance.
