Renovated Family Home in Iida City with Expansive Living Space
This detached house located in the Kitagata area of Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation. The property is situated in a residential neighborhood that offers views of the surrounding mountains. The renovation is scheduled for completion within the year, allowing for immediate occupancy.
The residence will be transformed into a 3SLDK layout. On the first floor, a spacious LDK of approximately 17.5 tatami mats will be created by connecting an adjacent Japanese-style room and a Western-style room. This floor also includes one Western-style room. The second floor features two additional Western-style rooms and a study. The LDK is positioned on the south side, ensuring ample natural light.
All major fixtures are being replaced with new units from the manufacturer Housetec. The kitchen will be a new 255cm-wide model, providing generous counter and sink space. The bathroom will be a new 1-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) unit bath, allowing for a relaxing soak. Toilets will be replaced with new models featuring a warm water washing function, and the vanity unit will also be new, equipped with a large basin and an electrical outlet.
Flooring throughout the living areas will be updated with new wood flooring, and walls and ceilings will receive new cross (wallpaper). Lighting fixtures and fittings will also be replaced, with LED lighting installed in the study and hallway. A new walk-in closet of approximately 3 tatami mats is being added to one of the second-floor rooms. The entrance features new tile flooring and a new shoe cabinet. A monitor-equipped intercom is being installed for security.
Exterior renovations include partial roof coating, exterior wall painting, and the removal of existing vegetation and fences. The frontage is being widened to create a parking space that can accommodate up to four cars in a parallel configuration. The property is a corner lot with road frontage on two sides. The balcony will also be repainted and reboarded. The property is served by city gas.
