Fully Renovated House with Engawa in Manazuru, Kanagawa
This two-storey wooden house, built 28 years ago, is situated on a hilltop in Manazuru Town, Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa Prefecture. The property offers unobstructed views due to its elevated location and is surrounded by abundant nature. It has been extensively renovated between 2023 and 2024, making it ready for immediate occupancy. The renovation work included exterior wall and roof painting, replacement of the kitchen, replacement of the second-floor toilet, new wallpaper in all rooms, new flooring in the kitchen, living room, and engawa (veranda), new tatami mats on the second floor, new sliding door screens (fusuma) in all rooms, new bathroom and washbasin fixtures, and new cushion flooring in the washroom and toilet. The septic tank has also been cleaned. The property features a traditional Japanese design with an engawa, a characteristic veranda. The original owner had a tea ceremony water station installed on the second floor, reflecting a personal touch. Please note that the first-floor air conditioner, lighting fixtures, and entrance lighting are not included and must be provided by the buyer. The bath requires gas to be connected by contacting a gas company before use. The house was in use until early 2024. The property is sold as-is, and the transaction is based on official registry measurements. There is a slight tilt to the building, which the seller describes as within a range that occupants typically find acceptable, but buyers are encouraged to inspect the site and be satisfied before making a decision.
The location is about a 25-minute walk from Manazuru Station. The area is rich in nature, and the Manazuru Iwa Beach is approximately a 5-minute drive away, easily accessible by motorcycle or electric bicycle. For dog owners, walking paths offer views of the Manazuru Peninsula and the sea, and in winter, the sight of the Tokaido Main Line trains running can be enjoyed.
