Modern, Energy-Efficient Home in Nara's Ando Town
This recently built, custom-designed home in Ando Town, Nara Prefecture, offers a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly new property with high-end specifications. Constructed in May 2024 by the builder Senboku Home, this two-story wooden house is a certified Long-Term Excellent Housing and ZEH (Net Zero Energy House) specification property, emphasizing energy efficiency and durability. The home is all-electric and features a 5.44kW solar power system noted for its excellent power generation.
The property's layout is designed for smooth household workflow and family interaction. It includes a counter kitchen, allowing the cook to communicate with family and keep an eye on children while preparing meals. The living/dining area is equipped with underfloor heating for comfort. The bathroom includes a dryer, useful not only for drying laundry on rainy days but also for drying the bathroom after use. For security, a TV monitor doorphone provides peace of mind for dealing with visitors. The entrance storage is notably spacious, capable of storing items like camping gear, and all rooms feature built-in storage. Additional equipment includes a system kitchen, IH cooktop, reheating function for the bath, shower-equipped washbasin, heated toilet seat, and a dishwasher.
Located just an 11-minute walk from JR Yamato-Koizumi Station on the Kansai Main Line, the home provides excellent access to the wider Kansai region. The east side of the property faces farmland, ensuring good sunlight and views. The property includes a free parking space (capacity depends on vehicle type). The land is 194.33 sqm (public record) with a building area of 96.46 sqm, arranged in a 3LDK layout. The property is currently occupied, and viewings are possible.
Ando Town is a quiet, rural municipality in Nara. An interesting historical fact is that the area was once part of the Koizumi domain during the Edo period, known for its scholarly traditions. For a major tourist attraction, the ancient capital of Nara, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for Todai-ji Temple and its free-roaming deer, is approximately a 30-minute drive or train ride away, offering a rich cultural experience.
