Spacious Single-Story Wooden House with Traditional Charm in Izumi City
Key features and equipment translated from the agent's notes include a sunken kotatsu (a traditional heated table) in one of the Japanese-style rooms, a spacious earthen-floored entryway (土間), and a roof terrace accessible from the second-floor room, offering pleasant views. The property is equipped with a system kitchen, gas cooking, a bath with reheating function and dryer, a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet, walk-in closets, storage in all rooms, a video door phone, and underfloor heating. It is an all-electric home (オール電化) with barrier-free design elements, faces south for excellent sunlight, and includes a free carport for one vehicle. The property uses public water, city gas, and sewer systems.
The location is highly convenient, situated approximately a 12-minute walk from JR Hanwa Line's Kitashinoda Station. A supermarket is within a 345-meter radius (about a 5-minute walk), and other daily amenities are readily accessible. The south-facing orientation ensures warmth in winter and is ideal for drying laundry. The expansive garden offers significant potential for landscaping, gardening, or outdoor living.
Izumi City, part of the Osaka metropolitan area, offers a blend of suburban living with good access to the city. An interesting local fact is that the area is historically associated with the legend of the fox-wife Kuzunoha, with the famous Shinoda Shrine (信太森葛葉稲荷神社) located nearby. This shrine is a notable cultural and tourist attraction, drawing visitors with its connection to the ancient folktale and its serene forest setting.
