A Spacious Family Home with Panoramic Lake Biwa Views
This unique 5LDK family home in Shiga Prefecture offers a rare combination of generous living space and breathtaking views of Lake Biwa. Built in 1989, this three-story RC (reinforced concrete) property spans 163.16 square meters and is situated in the serene neighborhood of Sengokudai, Otsu City. The property's current status is vacant. The agent's special notes state: "Akiya (vacant house).

The home's interior is defined by a bright and airy living and dining area featuring a double-height ceiling, which creates a sense of openness and allows for excellent ventilation and natural light. A distinctive spiral staircase and a bridge leading to a second-floor terrace add to the unique architectural character. The layout includes five rooms, providing ample space for a family. The stylish kitchen and clean, relaxing bathroom are designed for both functionality and comfort. A key feature is the view of Lake Biwa, which can be enjoyed from various rooms, the balcony, and the terrace. The property also includes under-floor storage and a dedicated parking space for one vehicle.
