Spacious Family Home with Japanese Garden in Yokohama
This charming detached house, located in a quiet residential area of Yokohama's Totsuka Ward, offers a unique blend of space, traditional aesthetics, and modern comfort. Built in April 1976, the property sits on a generous plot of over 100 tsubo (approximately 343.37 sqm), providing a rare sense of openness within the city. The two-story wooden structure features a total floor area of 167.89 sqm, arranged in a comfortable 4LDK layout.
Key features of the property include two toilets, a sauna, a bathroom over 1 tsubo in size, a system kitchen, closets, and a walk-in closet. Utilities are powered by propane gas, electricity, and have full water and sewage connections. A special note highlights the quiet neighborhood and the fact that all rooms benefit from two-sided natural lighting, ensuring a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the home.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the expansive Japanese garden, complete with carefully placed stepping stones, impressive garden rocks, and rich plantings including maple trees. This serene private oasis offers a view of the changing seasons right from the living room and provides a perfect space for relaxation. The living area itself opens onto a broad plaza suitable for barbecues and outdoor gatherings. The property's exterior is distinguished by a gate with stone pillars, adding to its villa-like character.
The Totsuka area is well-connected, within walking distance of JR Totsuka Station. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Tsurugamine Plateau is known for its historical significance as a samurai settlement during the Edo period. The closest major landmark is the iconic Yokohama Bay Bridge, a defining feature of the city's skyline and a short drive away.
