Presence Lodge Shindaiya: A Newly Built Condominium in Nara
Presence Lodge Shindaiya is a newly constructed condominium building currently for sale in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. This modern residence offers a selection of floor plans ranging from 2LDK to 3LDK, with private unit areas spanning from 53.58㎡ to 70.30㎡. The property is strategically located just a 6-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Line's Shindaiya Station, providing excellent access to the Kintetsu Nara Line and JR Nara Line, Yamatoji Line, and Sakurai Line via Nara Station, which is an 18-minute walk away. This dual-line access offers significant convenience for commuters.
The building's design emphasizes modern aesthetics and functionality. The facade utilizes sharp marion and slab lines with a monochrome color scheme for a contemporary look. The entrance approach is distinct from the surrounding streetscape, featuring heavy tile cladding for a sense of luxury, a design wall, and seasonal plantings. Inside, the entrance hall combines rhythmic uneven tiles with large-format natural tiles, with indirect lighting from a coffered ceiling and corner sash windows that bring in views of lush greenery.
Key building amenities include a pedestrian-vehicle separation design, parking, an auto-lock security system, a parcel delivery box, bicycle parking, and motorcycle parking. Unit features vary by plan but may include wide silent sinks, glass-coated gas cooktops, bathroom remotes with intercom and wireless LAN connectivity, three-sided mirror storage, integrated washbasin counters, spacious entrance storage, home security lights, waterproof outdoor outlets, and slop sinks on balconies. Balcony areas range from 8.47㎡ to 10.99㎡, with additional alcove areas from 1.76㎡ to 7.01㎡ and service balcony areas of 1.40㎡ or 3.95㎡.
Critical agent notes have been translated and must be included: The sales are on a first-come, first-served basis, and desired units may already be contracted. Applicants must bring a seal, a ¥100,000 application deposit (to be applied to the down payment), income proof for the last two years, and identification. The listed sale prices include the 10% consumption tax. The published private unit and balcony areas are based on building confirmation and are subject to change. The aerial photos of the area from March 2024 have been partially CG-processed; the light pillar indicates the property location and does not represent building height or scale. Facilities are as of April 2024 and their future existence/operation is not guaranteed. Firework composite visuals are CG-synthesized and not guaranteed to be accurate or occur in the future; they do not guarantee the Yamayaki festival on Mount Wakakusa, and launch position, size, and height differ from reality. There is no private road burden.
The area is rich in history and culture. Nara, Japan's first permanent capital, is home to numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites. An interesting fact is that the city is famous for its over 1,200 freely roaming Sika deer, considered sacred messengers of the gods in Shinto belief. The closest major landmark is the historic Nara Park, a short distance away, which encompasses several of Nara's most famous temples and the iconic Todai-ji Temple housing the Great Buddha.
