A Spacious Family Home in Tokyo's Historic Katsushika Ward
This charming two-storey house, built in 2004, presents a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained property in the desirable and historically rich neighborhood of Shibamata, Katsushika Ward, Tokyo. With a generous total floor area of 80.32 square meters, the residence features a practical and comfortable 3LDK layout, perfectly suited for family living. The property is currently vacant, and the agent encourages prospective buyers to feel free to inquire and schedule a viewing at their convenience.
The home is situated on a peaceful, residential corner lot, a feature that provides excellent southern and eastern sunlight exposure. This advantageous positioning ensures the interior is bright and welcoming throughout the day. The layout has been thoughtfully designed with ample storage, including two closets, two built-in cupboards, under-floor storage, and a loft (Guruni), ensuring a clutter-free living environment. Every room benefits from dual-aspect lighting, enhancing the sense of space and airiness. A significant convenience is the direct access from the private, free-of-charge car park into the house, making daily commutes and grocery unloading effortless.
According to the agent's special notes, the property fronts onto a Position-Designated Road. Furthermore, the floor area ratio (FAR) is restricted to 160% due to the width of the front road, a crucial detail for any future building considerations. The land area is a comfortable 80 square meters, with a building-to-land ratio of 60%.
Life in Shibamata offers a unique blend of traditional charm and modern convenience. The area is famously known as the setting for the beloved Japanese film series "Otoko wa Tsurai yo" (It's Tough Being a Man), centered on the character Tora-san. A key local landmark is the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple, a stunning and historic Buddhist temple known for its intricate wooden carvings and beautiful garden, providing a serene escape from the city bustle. The neighborhood maintains a strong sense of community and is characterized by its quiet, tree-lined streets.
Connectivity is excellent, with Shibamata Station on the Keisei Kanamachi Line just a 4-minute walk away. This provides direct access to the broader Tokyo train network. The immediate vicinity is well-serviced with a convenience store only 130 meters away and a supermarket within 140 meters, making daily errands incredibly convenient. This property represents a perfect balance of comfortable family living in a storied and accessible part of Tokyo.
