Renovated 4LDK House in Muroran, Hokkaido
This spacious 4LDK detached house in Muroran's Takasago district is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation, offering a move-in ready home with modern amenities and a practical layout. The property sits on a generous 210.87 sqm (approx. 63 tsubo) plot and features a total floor area of 94.77 sqm (approx. 28 tsubo). The renovation includes significant upgrades: the exterior walls and roof are being repainted, and the parking area is being expanded to accommodate four vehicles. The layout is being reconfigured into a 4LDK, with the first-floor Japanese-style room by the entrance converted into a Western-style room, and its closets replaced with wardrobes. The second floor consists of a 4.5-tatami and a 6-tatami room, which can be used as one large space or partitioned.
Key renovation details include the replacement of all six-tatami Japanese rooms on the first floor with Western-style rooms, with closets converted to wardrobes. Tatami mats are being re-covered, wallpaper replaced, and new lighting fixtures installed. The kitchen features a new Lixil system kitchen with a stylish artificial marble countertop and an extendable faucet with a shower head and water purifier. The entrance has a windbreak room, a new insulated front door, and tile work replaced with siding. The entrance hall is getting new tiles, flooring, downlighting, and a new shoe cabinet. The expansive 17.5-tatami LDK (Living, Dining, Kitchen) is receiving new wallpaper, lighting, flooring, and fittings. The bathroom is being replaced with a one-tsubo (approx. 1.6x1.6m) unit bath. The property includes a cascade garage to protect vehicles from snow and wind, and the garden trees next to the garage are being removed to create additional parking, for a total of four spaces. The house uses city gas, which is economical and environmentally friendly, and a new kerosene boiler with a reheating function is being installed for the bath. A reheating control panel is also being added in the washroom. The property comes with a two-year warranty covering the three major risks of used homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion in main structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks or failures.
Located in Muroran City, Hokkaido, the area is known for its industrial history and stunning coastal scenery. An interesting local fact is that Muroran is home to Japan's first concrete lighthouse, the Muroran Cape Chikyu Misaki Lighthouse, built in 1920. The closest major landmark is the scenic Cape Chikyu, a popular spot for its dramatic cliffs and ocean views, located approximately 6 kilometers from the property.
