Spacious 6SLDK Family Home with South-Facing Living in Hakodate
This substantial two-story wooden house, built in December 1988, offers a generous 165.87 sqm (approx. 50.17 tsubo) of living space across six rooms, making it ideal for large families or those desiring dedicated hobby or work rooms. The property is located in Tokinome-cho, Hakodate City, Hokkaido, and features a south-facing living-dining-kitchen (LDK) area, ensuring excellent sunlight throughout the day. The layout includes two 8-tatami Japanese-style rooms, four Western-style rooms of varying sizes (6, 10, 6.6, and 7.1 tatami), a spacious 20-tatami LDK, and a 3-tatami service room. A study provides a perfect quiet space for working from home.
Key equipment and features translated from the agent notes include a heated toilet seat, under-floor storage, floor heating, a bay window, propane gas, electricity, and a public water supply. A special note highlights that the property benefits from two-sided natural lighting. Important remarks indicate that the sewerage is connected to a shared private pipe. Critically, the property currently does not meet the building code's road frontage obligation, meaning extensions, renovations, or rebuilding requiring a confirmation application are not possible. The property will be sold in its current condition ('as-is'). As it is currently occupied, viewings require prior arrangement.
The area of Hakodate is rich in history and culture, famously home to the star-shaped Goryokaku Fort, Japan's first Western-style fortification, which is now a beautiful park. The property is conveniently located within walking distance of public transport, with the Chuo Byoin-mae tram stop a 9-minute walk and the Tokinome-cho tram stop a 7-minute walk away. The closest major landmark is the historic Hakodate Park, one of Japan's oldest public parks, offering scenic walks, a small zoo, and stunning seasonal foliage.
