Pros and cons of this 4DK house
A vacant three-storey wooden house with a 4DK layout, about 98 m² on a small 65 m² lot, built in February 1991.
Why it stands out
- Built 1991, under the post-1981 earthquake code
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
- Low entry price — easy to buy with cash
Points to check
- Private road
- Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
