Special features translated from the agent notes confirm that teleworking is possible, and existing furnishings can be used if desired, with unwanted items to be disposed of. The tatami mats are in good condition and there are no sunken floor areas. It should be noted that the functionality of the home's equipment is currently unverified. A unique feature is the presence of a basement beneath the first-floor Japanese-style room. The property has been vacant since approximately February 2010 (Heisei 22). Handover terms are negotiable.
