This spacious 1SLDK apartment, located in the Fame Shinjuku Kashiwagi-cho building in Shinjuku's Kita-Shinjuku 1-chome, offers a comfortable and secure living environment with a comprehensive range of modern amenities. The property features a total floor area of 57.32 square meters, providing ample space, and is situated on the top (5th) floor of a 5-story reinforced concrete (RC) building constructed in June 1998. The layout includes a Japanese-style room of 4.5 tatami mats, a living-dining-kitchen area, a 14-square-meter room, and a 5.5-square-meter room, complemented by a 5.67-square-meter southeast-facing balcony.
The apartment is exceptionally well-equipped. Facilities include city gas, air conditioning, hot water supply, an elevator, a parcel delivery box, and a separate bath and toilet. The bathroom is fitted with a warm-water washing toilet seat, a bath dryer, a reheat function, and an auto bath system. The washbasin is independent and includes a shampoo dresser. Inside, you will find a designated space for a washing machine, fiber-optic internet readiness, a system kitchen with a dishwasher/dryer, a water purifier, and a dish dryer. The apartment comes with lighting fixtures, flooring, a balcony, and storage space. Security is a priority, featuring an auto-lock system, a dimple key, an auto-lock with monitor, a TV monitor intercom, and security cameras.
Special notes indicate that two people can reside in the apartment. The building is a condominium-type (分譲タイプ) development with a tiled exterior, situated in a quiet residential neighborhood (閑静住宅街) with a daytime building manager (管理人日勤). A key remark is that the renewal fee is equivalent to one month of the new rent (更新料：新賃料 1ヵ月). Monthly costs include a rent of 230,000 yen and a common service fee of 15,000 yen. A one-time "Anshin Support" fee of 16,500 yen applies, and a rent guarantee company is required, costing 60% of the rent and fees, with an insurance obligation of 19,000 yen every two years.
The area of Kita-Shinjuku offers a peaceful residential atmosphere while being within easy reach of Shinjuku's bustling core. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Shinjuku Central Park is built on a former water purification plant site. The closest major landmark is the iconic Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in West Shinjuku, known for its twin towers and free observation decks offering spectacular views of the city and, on clear days, Mount Fuji.
