Renovated Family Home in Suma, Kobe with Stunning Views
This spacious 5LDK detached house, located in the quiet residential area of Takakuradai, Suma Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, offers a fantastic opportunity for family living. The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation scheduled for completion in May 2027, which includes exterior wall and roof painting, as well as full interior refurbishment. The result is a move-in-ready home with modern amenities and a fresh feel.
The property features a generous layout with a total floor area of approximately 150.52 square meters (about 45 tsubo). The second-floor living rooms offer a special bonus: views of the iconic Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, one of the world's longest suspension bridges. The house is oriented to the south, ensuring excellent natural light. Key equipment and features include a system kitchen from Cleanup, a unit bath from HouseTec, a bathroom heater/dryer, bidet toilets with warm-water washing functions, a TV monitor-equipped doorphone for security, underfloor heating, and a walk-in closet. The kitchen has been newly replaced with a three-burner gas hob that includes a grill. A built-in dishwasher is also installed for convenience. The property is equipped with public water, city gas, and sewer systems.
The renovation details are extensive. The entire interior has been refreshed with new flooring, wall coverings, and lighting fixtures. The first-floor Japanese-style room (8 tatami mats) has had its tatami mats and shoji paper replaced and features two storage areas. All bedrooms on the second floor have storage and benefit from dual-aspect lighting. The master bedroom (approx. 8.6 tatami mats) is south-facing, connects to a balcony, and includes a walk-in closet. The kitchen, bathroom, toilets, washbasin, shoe cupboard, and water heater remote control have all been replaced with new items. The property also includes two balconies, one facing southwest and another facing northeast, the latter offering pleasant green views.
Practical features include parking for two or more vehicles with an electric shutter, making it suitable for a multi-car family or guests. The property is currently vacant and available for immediate handover. It is also eligible for the housing loan tax reduction program. The location provides access to local amenities, with Takakuradai Elementary School within a 500-meter radius. The area is part of Kobe's Suma Ward, known for its coastal scenery and relaxed atmosphere. An interesting local fact is that Suma is home to Suma Aquarium, one of Japan's oldest public aquariums, famous for its dolphin and sea lion shows. The closest major landmark is the breathtaking Akashi Kaikyo Bridge itself, a marvel of engineering and a popular tourist attraction offering night-time illuminations.
