Retro Modern Apartment in Setagaya, Tokyo
This 2DK apartment unit is situated on the fourth floor of a five-story reinforced concrete building constructed in 1984, located in the Sakurashinmachi area of Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. The property offers a floor area of 35.76 square meters and is positioned as a corner unit with a southern exposure. The interior has been finished in a retro modern style, featuring a designer kitchen, separate bathroom and toilet, an indoor washing machine space, a two-burner gas stove, a water heater, and a newly installed air conditioner. The finish intentionally retains retro tile work to create a textured aesthetic that is not overly modernized.
The property is within a four-minute walk from Sakurashinmachi Station on the Den-en-toshi Line, and is also within walking distance of Yoga Station. It is located near Sazaesan Street, providing convenient access to daily amenities. A stylish cafe operates on the first floor of the building, useful for meeting guests or daily use.
Notable aspects of this property include that it is on the fourth floor with no elevator, it is an older building from 1984, and it operates under a self-management style where the current condition takes priority over detailed rules. While the zoning may allow for possible use as a short-term rental, the building's fire safety systems make this difficult to achieve. The property is being sold as-is with a disclaimer regarding contractual responsibility, and the sale is based on the public registry.
