According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with a shower room (no full bathtub). It is situated within a First Category Low-Rise Exclusive Residential Zone, meaning commercial use is permitted for office-type businesses.

Subsequently, an annual renewal guarantee fee of 10,000 yen is necessary. The property is available for immediate occupancy and is currently vacant.
The area, Kita Ward, is a historically rich part of Kyoto, known for its serene temples and traditional atmosphere.
