Historic Post-War Home with Generous Land in Miyawaka, Fukuoka
This property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of post-war Japanese history. Located in the quiet residential neighborhood of Tsuruta in Miyawaka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, this 3LDK detached house was built in June 1949, making it a 76-year-old structure with significant character. The home offers a substantial total floor area of 102.17 square meters on a spacious 242.00 square meter corner plot, providing ample room for gardening, expansion, or outdoor living.
According to the agent's notes, the property currently has no parking. However, a critical remark states that after purchase, it is possible to secure parking space through housing renovation. This is an important consideration for potential buyers, offering a pathway to add this modern convenience to the classic home. The property is designated as an 'akiya' or vacant house, ready for a new owner to restore and revitalize.
The home's features include a south-facing orientation, desirable for natural light, and its location in a quiet residential area. It is equipped with city gas, a system kitchen, two toilets (one with a reheating function), and a monitor-equipped intercom. The layout is suitable for multi-generational living. Public transportation is accessible via a 10-minute walk to the Yurino bus stop.
The surrounding area of Miyawaka offers a blend of rural tranquility and accessibility to greater Fukuoka. An interesting local fact is that the city's name, 'Miyawaka', was created in 2006 through the merger of the former towns of Miyata and Wakamatsu. For day trips and exploration, the renowned Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, a major tourist attraction dedicated to the god of learning, is approximately a 40-minute drive away, drawing millions of visitors annually to its beautiful grounds and iconic arched bridge.
