Spacious Detached House in Yokohama's Peaceful Hirato Neighborhood
This well-presented detached house, located in Yokohama's Totsuka Ward, offers a comfortable and functional living space of 109.93 sqm (approximately 33.25 tsubo) on a generous plot of 149.38 sqm (approximately 45.18 tsubo). Built in February 1996, this two-story wooden structure is situated within a desirable First Category Low-Rise Residential Zone, ensuring a quiet and pleasant living environment. The property features a 4SLDK layout, where the 'S' denotes a storage room, providing ample space for a family.
The south-facing orientation ensures excellent sunlight throughout the day. The living and dining area is a spacious approximately 17.9-jo room, which can be combined with the adjacent Western-style room (approx. 4.5-jo) to create an even larger contiguous space. The second floor includes a storage room (approx. 2.2-jo), and all Western-style rooms are equipped with closets, offering substantial storage. The bathroom, washroom, and toilet are all fitted with windows for easy ventilation. The sunny garden is perfect for gardening enthusiasts. The property includes a parking space and features a front road width of over 6 meters.
Critical agent notes have been translated: In addition to the stated building area, there are unregistered extensions totaling approximately 14.34 sqm (a second-floor Western-style room and storage room, extended in February 1996) and approximately 4.17 sqm (first-floor kitchen, extended in February 2011). Furthermore, 18.85 sqm of the total building area is accounted for by an underground garage. The property exceeds the stipulated building coverage ratio, meaning a building of the same scale cannot be reconstructed. There are also separate private road ownership shares: 602 sqm (share 1/20), 3.51 sqm (share 1/23), 1.8 sqm (share 1/20), and 27 sqm (share 1/20).
Recent upgrades include a replaced washbasin vanity (April 2013) and a replaced built-in dishwasher system kitchen (February 2011). The neighborhood is well-serviced with supermarkets and parks for daily convenience. The property is a 14-minute walk from Higashi-Totsuka Station on the Yokosuka Line, providing direct access to Yokohama and Tokyo.
The Totsuka area of Yokohama offers a blend of residential calm and accessibility. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Totsuka Ward is home to part of the historic Tokaido road, one of the Five Routes of the Edo period. For recreation and culture, residents can easily visit the iconic Yokohama Cosmoworld, a famous amusement park known for its giant Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel, located a short train ride away in central Yokohama.
