Spacious Renovated Family Home in Sapporo's Makomanai District
This substantial 3-story wooden house, built in September 2001, offers a generous 188.84 sqm (approx. 57.12 tsubo) of living space on a 156.67 sqm (approx. 47.39 tsubo) plot in Sapporo's Makomanai Honcho 7-chome. The property features a 4SLDK layout, where the 'S' denotes a storage/service room. It is conveniently located approximately 13 minutes by bus from the Makomanai Station on the Sapporo Municipal Namboku Subway Line, followed by a 3-minute walk from the Akebono-cho bus stop.
The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation scheduled for completion in December 2025 (Reiwa 7). Key updates include the replacement of toilets on the 1st and 2nd floors, a new vanity unit, new wallpaper throughout all rooms, new cushion flooring in toilets and utility areas, new tatami mats, and replacements for the kitchen faucet, IH cooktop, unit bath faucet, heating boiler, range hood, intercom, registers, and pipe fans. Curtain rails have been removed, and screen door replacements are planned for January 2026 (Reiwa 8), along with partial exterior wall repairs.
Notable features include a front road width of over 6 meters, with the lot facing approximately 8.7 meters onto an 8.0-meter wide public road on the north side. The house was originally built by Home Planning Center. On-site parking is available for two vehicles (subject to vehicle type restrictions), with an electric shutter garage. There are toilets on the 2nd and 3rd floors equipped with bidet seats (温水洗浄付便座). All living rooms include storage, and there is a Japanese-style room (和室). The kitchen uses an IH cooking heater.
The Makomanai area is a well-established residential district in southern Sapporo, known for its proximity to natural green spaces. An interesting local fact is that the name "Makomanai" is derived from the Ainu language, meaning "a river behind a quiet pond." The area is a gateway to the vast Makomanai Park, which includes sports facilities and is a short distance from the scenic Jozankei Onsen area, a famous hot spring resort in the mountains southwest of Sapporo.
