Spacious 4K Family Home in Shinjuku with Underfloor Heating
This charming two-story wooden house, built in February 1972, presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Shinjuku's residential landscape. Located in Kami-Ochiai 2-chome, the property offers a generous land area of 68.22 sqm (approximately 20.63 tsubo) and a total building area of 73.98 sqm (about 22.37 tsubo). The home features a classic 4K layout, providing four separate rooms, ideal for a growing family or those desiring ample personal space.
A key feature of this property is its equipment. The home is equipped with underfloor heating (床暖房), ensuring comfortable and evenly distributed warmth during the colder months, a significant comfort upgrade for a residence of this era.
The location is highly convenient, with excellent access to multiple train lines. It is just a 4-minute walk from the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line's Ochiai Station, an 8-minute walk from the Toei Oedo Line's Nakai Station, and an 11-minute walk from the JR Chuo-Sobu Line's Higashi-Nakano Station. This connectivity makes commuting to central Tokyo and beyond remarkably easy.
The Shinjuku area is a fascinating blend of ultra-modern skyscrapers, bustling entertainment districts, and quiet, traditional neighborhoods like Kami-Ochiai. An interesting local fact is that Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, one of Tokyo's most famous and expansive parks, began as the private estate of a feudal lord in the Edo period before being transformed into an imperial garden and eventually opening to the public. This beautiful garden, featuring traditional Japanese, French, and English landscapes, is a major landmark and a serene escape from the urban energy, located just a short train ride away from this property.
