A Spacious Family Home in Kobe's Coastal North Maiko District
This inviting two-story house, built in 2006, presents a compelling opportunity in the desirable North Maiko 4-chome area of Kobe's Tarumi Ward. Priced at 23.8 million yen, the property features a comfortable 3LDK layout with a total floor area of 91.08 square meters, situated on a generous 106.93 square meter land plot. The south-facing orientation ensures excellent sunlight and ventilation, creating a bright and airy living environment. The home comes with the added convenience of one free parking space.
The property's current status is vacant, and the agent notes: "Akiya viewing reservation free. Please feel free to contact us with your desired date." This indicates the home is immediately available for viewing and purchase. However, critical remarks from the agent provide essential information for potential buyers. The property code is 163103-2433. Crucially, the seller is exempt from liability for non-conforming contracts and the repair obligations of attached equipment. Furthermore, the property boundaries are not explicitly stated. Most significantly, the agent's remarks state: "This property does not fulfill the road frontage obligation. Therefore, for reconstruction, a letter of agreement from the adjacent land will be necessary." This is a vital legal consideration for any future redevelopment plans.
The home is well-equipped for modern living. The kitchen comes with a system kitchen and an installed gas stove. The bathroom features a reheating function, and the toilet is fitted with a warm-water washlet. Additional amenities include a separate washroom, a balcony, and a TV monitor intercom for security. The property is connected to public water supply, city gas, and sewer systems.
The location offers excellent accessibility. It is approximately an 8-minute walk from the Higashi-Maiko Elementary School bus stop, which is just a 3-minute bus ride from JR Maiko Station on the JR Tokaido-Sanyo Main Line. The area is also within walking distance of other stations, including Sanyo Electric Railway's Nishi-Maiko Station (16 minutes) and Maiko Park Station (22 minutes).
The North Maiko district is a charming coastal area known for its relaxed atmosphere and scenic views of the Seto Inland Sea. A notable landmark nearby is the Maiko Promenade, a scenic seaside walkway that offers stunning views of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, the world's longest suspension bridge. This engineering marvel connects Kobe to Awaji Island and is a spectacular sight, especially when illuminated at night. The area provides a unique blend of peaceful residential living with easy access to one of Japan's most iconic structures.
