Spacious Renovated Family Home in Quiet Himeji Neighborhood
This charming two-story wooden house, built in November 2003, offers a comfortable and modern living space in a quiet residential area of Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. The property features a generous 4SLDK layout, providing ample room for family life. The highlight is the bright and spacious 22-jo (approximately 36 sq m) Living-Dining-Kitchen on the second floor, perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The home includes three Western-style rooms (7-jo, 6-jo, and 6-jo) and a 4.5-jo Japanese-style room.
The property has undergone a full interior renovation in January 2020, including new flooring. It is equipped with a system kitchen featuring an IH cooktop, a counter kitchen, and a dishwasher. The bathroom includes a reheating function and a bath dryer. Other notable features include underfloor heating, a shower-equipped vanity, a washlet toilet seat, and a TV monitor doorphone for security. The home is all-electric, reducing fire risks associated with gas. It is also designed with barrier-free considerations. A significant advantage is the presence of a free carport that can accommodate two or more vehicles, with front road access over 6 meters wide.
Additional equipment includes public water supply, city gas, separate drainage, a dedicated bath, a dedicated toilet, a three-burner cooktop, hot water supply, underfloor storage, a walk-in closet, an indoor washing machine space, a balcony, hardwood flooring, a dimple key system, a water purifier/activator, and two or more toilets. Storage is plentiful with closets in all rooms and a shoe cupboard.
Located in the Shikisai area of Himeji, the property is a 17-minute walk from JR Himesshin Line's Yobe Station. The surrounding neighborhood is peaceful and well-served, with a bank within a 730-meter (10-minute walk) radius. Himeji is famously home to Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Japan's most spectacular and pristine original castles, often called the "White Heron Castle" for its elegant white appearance. This iconic landmark is a major draw for history and architecture enthusiasts from around the world.
