Pros and cons of this 9K house
A vacant two-storey steel-frame building from 1992, with nine rooms and about 638 m² of floor area on a 3,767 m² freehold lot, with 90 m of frontage onto a 12 m public road to the north-east.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 3766.79 m² (about 1139 tsubo)
- Built 1992, under the post-1981 earthquake code
- Vacant: easy to view and quick to hand over
Points to check
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
- Large plot means more upkeep (weeding, fences, snow)
