Unique Motorcycle Enthusiast's Home with Indoor Garage in Kobe
This distinctive property in Kobe's Nishi Ward is a dream home for motorcycle lovers, featuring a unique indoor garage that is seamlessly integrated into the living space. The layout consists of a motorcycle garage, a 10-tatami mat LDK (living-dining-kitchen), a 13-tatami mat Western-style room, and a balcony. A standout feature is the glass floor section on the second floor, allowing you to admire your bikes from above.
The property is equipped with a large indoor garage capable of accommodating two large motorcycles, which is directly adjacent to the living room. The kitchen is an independent type with a 2-burner gas stove, and cabinets matching the kitchen's color scheme are often requested by clients; they are earthquake-resistant, sleek, and stylish. The entrance includes a shoe storage cabinet with ample space for many pairs of shoes. The stylish 10-tatami mat LDK offers a comfortable space to relax on the sofa while viewing the motorcycles. The bright 13-tatami mat Western-style room benefits from two-sided natural light. An optional 10-year warranty coating is available to further strengthen the flooring.
The bathroom features a compact, single-person bathtub. The washbasin has a convenient three-sided mirror for applying makeup. The toilet is a water-saving model that reduces water usage by 60% compared to conventional products, features a rimless shape for easy cleaning, and has a self-cleaning nozzle. It comes standard with a washlet, heated seat, and deodorizing function. The spacious balcony has a roof, allowing laundry to be hung without getting wet in light rain. A small window ensures good ventilation, helping maintain a clean space. There is a back door behind the kitchen. A board that can also be used as a table is provided. Through renovation work, the garage can be modified to fit one light vehicle instead of motorcycles.
