Unused House in Kumamoto's Jōnan-machi
This pristine, unused single-family home in Kumamoto City's Minami Ward offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property that has never been occupied. Built in April 2024, this two-year-old residence combines modern comfort with thoughtful design across a generous 93.13 square meter floor area.
The property features a spacious 3LDK layout, highlighted by a 20.2-jo living, dining, and kitchen area. The living room creates a warm atmosphere with its exposed ceiling beams and is enhanced by high doors and high sashes that reach nearly to the ceiling, fostering a sense of openness. The kitchen is equipped with a popular three-burner IH cooktop, offering safety for families with young children as it doesn't use an open flame. Its counter-style design faces the living area, allowing the cook to interact with family.
Special notes from the agent indicate the property is currently vacant, and free viewings can be scheduled by contacting the agent with your preferred date. A financing example is provided: for a loan of 35 million yen, monthly payments could be approximately 68,308 yen, assuming no down payment or bonus payments, a 0.648% variable interest rate from an internet bank with preferential rates, and a 50-year repayment period. The agent emphasizes this is just one example and conditions apply. The surrounding environment includes Sugigami Elementary School, a 17-minute walk (approx. 1,320m) away, and Kumamoto City Shimomashiki Jōnan Junior High School, a 35-minute walk (approx. 2,740m) away.
The home includes three Western-style rooms, one featuring a full wall of storage for organizing clothes and other items, accented by stylish wallpaper. The bathroom, roughly one tsubo in size, includes a small window for ventilation, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The toilet features a warm-water washing bidet seat for year-round comfort. The vanity area boasts a three-sided mirror, with storage space behind the mirror to hide daily essentials like toothbrushes and lotions, reducing clutter. A roughly 2-jo storage space next to the genkan entrance provides ample room for household goods. The shoe cabinet offers high storage capacity, and the entrance door incorporates a slit window, allowing natural light to brighten the area. The property includes an inner balcony and a wooden deck, which is semi-private as it is surrounded by the living room, hallway, and a Western-style room, making it ideal for children to play, perhaps with a pool in the summer. The parking area, covered with gravel for security, can accommodate approximately three cars.
Located in the Jōnan-machi Ei area of Kumamoto's Minami Ward, this property offers a peaceful residential setting. An interesting local fact is that Kumamoto is famous for its castle, one of Japan's three premier castles, which features unique curved stone walls known as "musha-gaeshi." The closest major landmark is the iconic Kumamoto Castle, a significant historical site and a major tourist attraction renowned for its impressive architecture and surrounding gardens.
