Spacious Single-Story Home in Shirakawa with Recent Upgrades
This single-story property in Shirakawa's Misaka 2-chome offers a comfortable 4SK layout with a total floor area of 101.85 square meters. Built in December 1999, the wooden home sits on a generous 338.21 square meter plot in a quiet residential zone. The property has undergone significant exterior renovations, including a parking lot expansion project. The block walls and garden trees on the north side of the road were removed, and the parking area was paved with concrete. The approach staircase was partially dismantled and newly rebuilt. The renovation work also included landscaping: cutting down garden trees in front of the house, dismantling blocks, leveling the ground, compacting crushed stone, installing a new approach staircase, and other tree cutting, root removal, pruning, and laying anti-weed sheets.
The property is currently vacant, and viewings are available by appointment. A reservation-only open house is scheduled from December 25th (Thursday) to December 28th (Sunday), with same-day reservations accepted. Interested parties are encouraged to specify their preferred date. Key selling points include a 5-year guarantee on the termite prevention work and personalized proposals for repayment amounts and possible loan amounts, with friendly consultation available even for first-time home loan applicants. The property is eligible for a mortgage tax reduction under certain conditions.
The home comes with several assurances, including a 2-year guarantee against the three major risks of second-hand homes: roof leaks, defects or corrosion in major structural parts, and water leakage or failure of water supply and drainage pipes. A separate 5-year guarantee covers the termite prevention treatment, with two additional free inspections included.
Located in Shirakawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, the area is known for its clear views of the Nasu Mountains. A major nearby landmark is the historic Nanko Park, one of Japan's oldest landscape gardens dating back to the early 19th century, offering a beautiful and culturally significant green space just a short drive away. The property is conveniently situated within walking distance of local amenities, including Misaka Elementary School (350m, 5-minute walk), a FamilyMart convenience store (1400m), and Mega Stage Shirakawa shopping complex (1900m, 5-minute drive).
