This detached house, built in 2016, offers a bright and functional living space in the desirable city of Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture. The property features a generous 99.36 sqm floor area with a 3LDK layout, centered around a spacious 21-tatami mat living, dining, and kitchen area.

The area is a quiet residential neighborhood, and parking is available free of charge.
The interior is thoughtfully designed for modern living. The system kitchen boasts a counter with over 1.5 meters of depth to the back wall. The second-floor hall includes a counter for simple tasks and storage for coats and cleaning equipment. The 7-tatami mat main bedroom features access to an approximately 5 sqm balcony and includes a 1.5-tatami mat walk-in closet designed for ventilation. An additional 5.2-tatami mat Western-style room has openings to the northwest and southwest. The bathroom is a clean, 1-tsubo type with a window and drying machine, and the sanitary room is also 1 tsubo with a marble-like tile floor.
Kawagoe is famous for its well-preserved "Kurazukuri" (clay-walled warehouse) district, offering a glimpse into Japan's Edo period just a short distance away. The area provides a unique blend of historical charm and modern convenience, with the flat, regularly shaped 109.90 sqm plot situated on a quiet road primarily used by local residents, ensuring peace and privacy.
