Pros and cons of this 6DK house
Vacant wooden 6DK house on two floors, built in July 1970, with 106.57 m² of floor space on a large 1,512 m² freehold plot.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 1512.42 m² (about 458 tsubo)
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
- Low entry price — easy to buy with cash
Points to check
- Built 1970, before the 1981 earthquake code — inspect and budget for reinforcement
- Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
