Spacious Modern Home in Kobe with Panoramic Port Views
This well-maintained single-family home, built in December 2015 by Asahi Kasei Homes, offers a spacious 5LDK layout across two stories. The property features a total floor area of 138.58㎡ on a generous 225.00㎡ plot of land. Key equipment and features include a system kitchen with a dishwasher and counter, IH cooking hob, a bathroom unit with a dryer and heater, a shower-equipped vanity, heated toilet seats, and underfloor heating in the living and dining area. The home is equipped with a TV monitor doorphone for security, and all rooms include storage, with a large walk-in closet in the master bedroom. It is an all-electric home with barrier-free considerations and a south-facing orientation.
Special notes from the agent detail the home's custom-built quality and recent updates. The property includes a sunken garage for two cars (high-roof compatible, with size restrictions). The living and dining area boasts a double-height ceiling, creating an open, airy atmosphere, and features full-open sashes that seamlessly integrate the living space with a wooden deck. The entrance has a large shoe closet, and the kitchen includes a cupboard on its backside. The first floor efficiently consolidates all wet areas for good circulation, while the second floor has its own vanity and toilet. In March 2024, partial interior renovations were completed, including re-wallpapering the entrance, hallway, toilets, vanity room, LDK, four Western-style rooms, and the Japanese-style room, as well as replacing the glass-top hob and installing new downlights.
Located in the Ōtsukidai area of Kobe's Nada Ward, this property is positioned on high ground, offering a significant benefit: from the second-floor balcony, residents can enjoy views of Kobe Port. The area is part of the greater Rokko area, known for its lush green hills and upscale residential neighborhoods. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Rokko Mountain range is a popular recreational area, offering hiking trails, seasonal illuminations, and the historic Rokko Cable Car, one of Japan's oldest funicular railways. The closest major landmark is the iconic Kobe Port Tower, a symbol of the city's maritime history and a key tourist attraction in the vibrant Meriken Park area.
