Reiben Kyoto Kawaramachi: A New Condominium in the Heart of Kyoto
Reiben Kyoto Kawaramachi is a newly constructed, 11-story reinforced concrete condominium offering immediate occupancy in the vibrant heart of Kyoto. The building features a total of 30 units, with current availability including 2LDK layouts boasting private floor areas of 58.97㎡ and 63.48㎡. The property is strategically located within a 6-minute walk from Hankyu Kyoto Kawaramachi Station, a 7-minute walk from Keihan Gion-Shijo Station, and an 11-minute walk from Kyoto Municipal Subway Karasuma Line's Shijo Station, providing exceptional access to Kyoto's extensive transit network.
The development incorporates high-quality finishes and a thoughtful design ethos. Stepping off the bustling Kawaramachi-dori into a side street, the architecture reflects a blend of traditional Kyoto scenery and modern aesthetics, expressed through random wall surfaces, louvers, and glass handrails. Residents have access to a serene lounge, designed with a theme of "Silent Pride." Building amenities include a windbreak room, entrance hall, mail and parcel delivery box corner, garbage storage area, one service-level parking space, and a bicycle parking area for 30 bicycles.
The units are equipped with premium features such as glass-top gas cooktops, the "Takara no Mizu" whole-house water purification system, the "Takara no Mirabath" micro-bubble bath system, gas-powered hot water floor heating, a 24-hour ventilation system, and an auto-lock security system with color monitor intercoms. Other standard features include a built-in dishwasher, mist sauna-equipped bathroom dryer, semi-auto bath (gas), flat-floor design, multimedia outlets, and a parcel locker. The structure utilizes a rigid frame (Rahmen) construction and double-glazed windows for enhanced durability and insulation.
