Spacious Family Home in Himeji with Generous Land and Flexible Layout
This substantial property in Himeji's Shikamaku district offers a rare combination of generous land and a well-sized family home. Built in October 1997, the wooden structure provides a total floor area of 136.96 square meters (approximately 41.43 tsubo) across two stories. The layout is a versatile 5SLDK, featuring five rooms plus a living, dining, and kitchen area, along with service rooms, providing ample space for a large family or flexible use for home offices or hobbies.
The property's land is a significant asset, measuring 153.27 square meters (approximately 46.36 tsubo) on a flat plot within a designated urbanization area zoned as Category I Medium-to-High-Rise Residential. A critical detail from the agent notes regarding the road access is as follows: The property fronts a public road to the west with a width of 4.6 meters and a frontage of 7.2 meters. The land does not have a designated position specification (位置指定無). Parking is available on-site.
The location offers convenient access via public transport, with Sanyo Main Line's "Aogaho" Station a 12-minute walk away and the Sanyo Electric Railway Aboshi Line's "Nishi-Shikama" Station within a 14-minute walk. The area is part of the historic city of Himeji, home to the magnificent Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and Japan's most iconic surviving feudal castle. The castle, often called the "White Heron" for its elegant white plastered walls, is a major tourist attraction and a stunning example of Japanese castle architecture from the early 17th century.
