Renovated Single-Story Home in Shibushi, Kagoshima
This property is a single-story wooden house located in a quiet residential area of Shibushi City, Kagoshima Prefecture. The home is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation to transform it into a move-in ready 5LDK layout, featuring four Western-style rooms and one Japanese-style room. The renovation plan includes significant upgrades to all major systems and finishes.
Key equipment and features from the agent notes include a new system kitchen from Eidan Dankogyo, which will be a counter-style, face-to-face kitchen allowing interaction with the living area. The bathroom will be replaced with a new one-pace (approx. 1.6m x 1.6m) unit bath from LIXIL, and the toilet will also be a new LIXIL model. The vanity will be a new three-mirror type from Eidan Sangyo. Other planned installations include a color monitor door phone for security, new wide-type light switches in all rooms, new lighting fixtures, and new electrical outlets and TV jacks in every room. The property features public water supply, propane gas, a septic tank, air conditioning, flooring, and a garden over 10 square meters. It is an all-electric home. The renovation also includes standard termite prevention treatment with a 5-year guarantee, and a 2-year warranty covering major defects like leaks, structural issues, and plumbing failures.
The property sits on a generous 397.10 sqm corner lot with space for parking up to four cars. The layout is designed for family living, with a spacious living area connected to the new kitchen. The home was originally built in March 1991.
The area offers a peaceful, suburban lifestyle. Shibushi is a port city on the eastern coast of Kagoshima Prefecture, historically known for its role in trade. An interesting local fact is that Shibushi Port is one of the major international trading ports in southern Kyushu, handling a diverse range of cargo. The closest major tourist attraction is the stunning Nichinan Coast, a nationally designated place of scenic beauty renowned for its dramatic rock formations, clear waters, and the iconic "Umi no Ie" (Sea House) observation point, located approximately a 30-minute drive away.
