Spacious Single-Story Home in Usuki with Planned Renovations
This single-story detached house, located in a quiet residential area of Usuki City, Oita Prefecture, offers a comfortable 2LDK layout with a total floor area of 73.39 square meters. Built in June 1993, the property is a solid wood-framed structure that complies with new earthquake resistance standards. The home is currently vacant and available for immediate viewing, with a comprehensive renovation planned by the seller, Kachitas Co., Ltd., a publicly listed company with a business and capital alliance with Nitori.
The planned renovation is extensive and designed for peace of mind. It includes a standard termite treatment, cleaning, leak inspection, and equipment checks. The exterior will receive a roof and wall repaint. Internally, all key water areas will be replaced: a new system kitchen, a new unit bath, a new toilet, and a new washbasin vanity. The interior will be refreshed with potential layout changes, new entrance and interior doors, new flooring, a new shoe cabinet, and new wallpaper. Additional upgrades include the installation of an intercom, fire alarms, and new lighting fixtures. The seller provides a 2-year warranty for major structural defects, leaks, and plumbing issues, along with a 5-year warranty for the termite treatment.
Key features of the property include a south-facing orientation, barrier-free design, and all-electric appliances. The kitchen is a counter-style system kitchen. The bathroom is equipped with a reheating function and a dryer. The home also includes a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet seat, underfloor heating, a walk-in closet, storage in all rooms, and a TV monitor intercom. Other equipment includes public water supply, propane gas, a septic tank, a system kitchen, hot water supply, a large window, hardwood flooring, and a water-saving toilet. The property sits on a generous 181.81 square meter corner lot with a garden over 10 square meters and space for two cars in a flat parking area. A notable point is that the hot water heater requires installation at the buyer's expense.
The location is peaceful with low traffic, yet conveniently close to amenities. Usuki City is a historic castle town famous for its well-preserved samurai residences and the stunning Usuki Stone Buddhas, a collection of Buddhist cliff carvings designated as a National Treasure and an important cultural asset. The property is a 14-minute walk from Kami-Usuki Station on the JR Nippo Main Line, providing regional rail access. The surrounding area offers practicality with Usuki City Hama Elementary School just a 3-minute walk away, a business supermarket (Gyomu Super Usuki City Hama) a 2-minute drive, and a convenience store within a 10-minute drive.
