Renovated Family Home in Sakata's Quiet Hikarigaoka Neighborhood
This spacious 5SLDK detached house in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture, is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation to create a modern and comfortable living environment. The property is priced at 14.49 million yen, inclusive of consumption tax and all renovation costs, and is scheduled for completion in April 2026, allowing for move-in within the year.
The extensive renovation plan covers every aspect of the home. Standard work includes termite prevention treatment, a full cleaning, lock replacement, leak inspection, and equipment checks. The exterior will see parking lot expansion and exterior wall painting or re-siding. For infrastructure, the property will be connected to the sewer system. All wet areas are being completely renewed with a new system kitchen, a new unit bath, and new toilets. Interior finishes include wall covering replacement throughout and re-facing of the tatami mats in the Japanese-style room. A new water heater will also be installed.
The property features a generous layout with approximately 148.17 square meters of total floor area. The living-dining-kitchen (LDK) area is about 19 tatami mats in size and will feature a new face-to-face kitchen to facilitate family interaction. The home includes several Western-style rooms, one on the first floor with a walk-in closet, and three on the second floor. A serene 8-tatami mat Japanese-style room on the second floor will be refreshed with new tatami and wall coverings. The renovation also includes new lighting fixtures throughout, so daily life can begin immediately upon moving in.
Key selling points highlighted by the agent include potential eligibility for a mortgage tax reduction, depending on conditions. The property comes with a 2-year warranty covering leaks, defects or corrosion in major structural parts, and failures or leaks in water supply and drainage pipes. The termite prevention work carries a 5-year warranty.
