Description
A home you can live in comfortably all year round. The biggest appeal of this house is the comfort that comes from making good use of natural forces.
No-snow-accumulation roof + energy-saving snow-melting system
Only the drain outlet is heated, a design that keeps running costs low. In summer the interior stays so cool that no air conditioning is needed even when it is over 30°C outside. In winter it is warm thanks to insulation renovation and double-glazed windows, and floor heating (about 6 tatami mats x 2 rooms) is also installed. A comfortable home with low heating and cooling costs.
Living with well water: delicious water and zero water bills
Because the house uses well water, there are no water utility charges. The water is cold in summer and warm in winter, which makes housework comfortable. The well pump has been replaced with a new one. The water is also mineral-rich, so even without bath additives the bath feels soft like a hot spring. In summer, cleaning is pleasantly cool, even "cold".
Peace of mind with the plumbing
The unit bath was renovated about 10 years ago at a cost of over 1,000,000 yen, and it is easy to clean. It has a ventilation fan and humidity measures, and both the toilet and bathroom have ventilation equipment.
* The shower faucet was damaged in a cold wave, but it is a minor repair that can be replaced for under 30,000 yen.
Well-equipped, with a maintenance history
Higher-grade FF kerosene stove and kerosene water heater make kitchen work comfortable. New air conditioner / new locks. City gas and public sewerage. Tatami mats and fusuma sliding doors are in good condition (a family member lived here). Sky PerfecTV antenna is installed. In addition, an under-floor inspection has been carried out by Duskin.
-> Confirmed: no termites
Parking, garden and future possibilities
Parking space available (paved). There is an area of bare soil at the back where a vegetable garden is possible.
There is a prefab shed where chickens used to be kept.
-> Demolition cost is roughly 200,000 to 250,000 yen (can be commissioned individually)
Disaster-resistant, urban location
Because it is in a built-up urban area, recovery after disasters is quick; services were restored within 2 days even at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake. It is on a dead-end road, so only residents and delivery companies pass through, making it a quiet environment. Safe and calm residential neighbourhood.
Very convenient location for daily life
Within walking or driving distance: Maxvalu, Yamada Denki, Tsuruha Drug, convenience stores, gas stations, multiple hospitals and care facilities, conveyor-belt sushi, restaurants and bento shops, banks, a bookstore, GEO, a coin laundry, an elementary school and a community centre.
-> You will have no trouble with daily life.
About renovations
Areas that may need work in future: toilet, kitchen, shower faucet, roof snow-removal heater (snow countermeasure).
However, properties already renovated by contractors tend to be priced higher, so renovating only the parts you need yourself is far better value. Renovations and equipment replacements worth about 6,000,000 yen have been done so far, including the well pump and other items. The shower mixer is also planned to be replaced.
Summary
For those looking for a house that is comfortable to live in even in snow country: no-snow-accumulation roof, insulated windows and floor heating. No air conditioning needed in summer, warm in winter, an energy-saving home that makes use of natural forces. As it is in an urban area, recovery after disasters is quick and the infrastructure and shopping environment are well developed. This is a house we especially want people who think "snow country sounds tough" to come and see.
For DIY / renovation lovers
A house you can shape to your own taste. Renovations worth about 6,000,000 yen have already been done, including the exterior walls, roof, bathroom and windows.
All that remains is to finish:
- the kitchen
- the toilet
to your liking.
Ideal for those who would rather work only on "what is truly necessary" than buy an overpriced contractor-renovated property.
For energy-saving / nature-minded buyers
Live alongside nature in an energy-saving home with zero water bills thanks to well water. Cold water in summer, warm water in winter. The mineral-rich water makes the bath feel like a hot spring even without bath additives. A lifestyle that keeps utility costs down and is kind to both body and household budget.
For seniors / parents' generation
A reassuring home in an urban area near hospitals. Hospitals, care facilities and supermarkets are nearby, making this a convenient location. Quiet dead-end road, in an area with quick recovery after disasters. Also recommended for those who want to spend their later years with peace of mind.
Viewings welcome, please feel free to consult us. As the house is vacant, viewings are possible at any time. We think you will find it "a house whose livability comes across better than in photos or text." Please do not hesitate to contact us.
Subsidies: Kuroishi City subsidy information is available on the city website. Subsidies for renovation are provided by the municipality to people moving in from outside the prefecture.
