Renovated Family Home in Muroran with Comprehensive Updates and Peace of Mind
This fully renovated 4LDK detached house in Muroran's Kōhoku-chō district offers a move-in ready solution with significant updates and a two-year warranty covering major structural risks. The property has undergone a complete transformation, including exterior and interior work. The exterior features new paint on the walls, roof, foundation, and oil tank. The garage and garden were removed to expand the parking area, now providing space for three vehicles. The entrance is equipped with a new Hokkaido-spec cold-climate door and a windbreak room, perfect for storing snow removal tools.
Inside, the layout has been thoughtfully reconfigured. The previously connected first-floor Japanese-style rooms were partitioned to create an independent 8.5-tatami Western-style room next to the kitchen, with its closet converted from a traditional closet. Another 8-tatami Japanese room retains its character with new tatami mats, oil-stain painted woodwork, and fresh wallpaper. The spacious 17.5-tatami LDK (living-dining-kitchen) area features maintenance-free flooring. The kitchen boasts a stylish artificial marble countertop and a practical system kitchen. The bathroom was expanded to a full 1-tsubo (approx. 3.3 sqm) unit bath with a reheating function boiler for relaxing soaks. The vanity unit includes a shampoo dresser and a three-sided anti-fog mirror. The toilet is being replaced with a bidet seat model. Other updates include new lighting fixtures throughout, a TV monitor intercom, and a new oil-fired boiler.
A key feature is the two-year warranty provided by the seller, covering three major risks of older homes: roof leaks, defects/corrosion in major structural parts, and water supply/drainage pipe leaks or failures. This warranty is backed by a thorough inspection, including under-floor areas, prior to renovation.
