Traditional Japanese Home in Hirosaki with Renovation Potential
This property is a traditional Japanese wooden single-story house located in the Nishishigemori 1-chome area of Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture. Built in January 1958, this 68-year-old home offers a classic layout with three Japanese-style rooms (6-tatami, 6-tatami, and 4.5-tatmatmi rooms) plus a kitchen and a flush toilet. A notable feature is that the property does not include a bath facility, presenting an opportunity for customization. The total building area is 47.10 square meters on a generous land plot of 105.19 square meters.
According to the agent's notes, the property is currently vacant. The internal fixtures and fittings left by the previous occupants will be removed prior to handover, ensuring a clean slate for the new owner. The property is connected to public water supply, public gas, and a propane system, with drainage connected to the public sewer. The land is classified as residential land within an urbanization promotion area and is zoned as a Category I Medium-to-High-Rise Exclusive Residential District. It has a building-to-land ratio of 60% and a floor area ratio of 200%. The property fronts a single road, which is a designated road under Article 42, Paragraph 1, Item 5 of the Building Standards Act.
A significant advantage for potential buyers is the availability of a subsidy from the Hirosaki City Vacant House and Land Utilization Project. This financial support can help offset renovation or purchase costs. The transaction is handled as a general intermediary agreement.
Hirosaki is a charming regional city with a population of around 160,000, known for its vibrant culture and beautiful natural surroundings.
