Renovated Family Home in Arita's Historic Ceramics Town
This charming two-story wooden house, built in July 1989, is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation scheduled for completion in March 2026. The property is being transformed into a spacious 4LDK layout, with the first floor featuring an expanded living area and the second floor dedicated to four Western-style bedrooms. The all-inclusive price of 17,990,000 yen covers consumption tax and the full cost of the renovation, which is already in progress. Viewings are still possible during the refurbishment.
The renovation scope is extensive. Exterior work includes roof and wall repainting for maintenance. The entrance door will be replaced, and a new monitor-equipped door intercom and lighting fixtures will be installed. Inside, the entire interior is being converted to a Western style. The kitchen, bath unit, washbasin vanity, and toilet are all being replaced with brand-new units. All lighting fixtures throughout the house are being swapped out, and the shoe box is being replaced. The flooring is being redone with new hardwood, and walls and ceilings are being re-papered. The living room will be combined with an adjacent Japanese-style room to create a bright, approximately 14-tatami mat space perfect for family gatherings. The second-floor bedrooms, ranging from 4.5 to 6 tatami mats, will feature new wallpaper, ceilings, and lighting; one room will be fitted with an open closet. Additionally, a termite prevention treatment will be applied under the floor.
