Renovated Family Home in Kobe's Nagata Ward with Excellent Access
This charming two-story wooden house, built in November 1996, is a well-maintained property located in the Nagata Ward of Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. The home is scheduled for a comprehensive renovation to be completed in early April 2026, ensuring it is move-in ready. The renovation will include full replacement of ceiling and wall coverings, flooring updates in the toilet and washroom, replacement of tatami mats, sliding doors, and shoji screens, new floor tiles in the dining-kitchen and three Western-style rooms, and the replacement of key equipment including the toilet, laundry sink, water heater, ventilation fan, gas stove, kitchen faucet, shower faucet, washroom mirror, intercom, smoke detectors, and anti-termite treatment, along with a full house cleaning.
The property features a 4DK layout with a total floor area of 63.98 square meters. It is equipped with a system kitchen that includes a countertop, making cooking and cleaning efficient. The home utilizes city gas, which is relatively inexpensive and environmentally friendly. Notable amenities include a bath with reheating function and a bath dryer, a washbasin with a shower, a bidet toilet seat, walk-in closets, storage in every room, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone, and underfloor heating. The property is also described as all-electric, barrier-free, south-facing, and comes with a parking space. A 10-year extended warranty is provided for the water heater, gas stove, range hood, ventilation fan, and multi-functional toilet seat.
Situated in a highly convenient location, the house is just a 6-minute walk from Nagata Station on the Kobe Municipal Subway Seishin-Yamate Line and a 7-minute walk from Kosoku-Nagata Station on the Kobe Kosoku Railway. The property faces southeast, ensuring good sunlight. The land area is 65.45 square meters (official register). For future rebuilding, a setback of 1.96 square meters is required. The property is currently vacant.
The surrounding area of Nagata Ward is a vibrant part of Kobe, known for its local atmosphere and community. An interesting historical fact is that the ward is home to the Nagata Shrine, one of the three major shrines in Kobe and historically significant as the site where the sun goddess Amaterasu was enshrined. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Kobe Port Tower, located approximately 5 kilometers away in Kobe's harbor area, offering panoramic views of the city and the sea.
