Pros and cons of this 5LDK house
Combined clinic and residence of about 365 m2 on 438 m2 of freehold land in the center of Towada, built in 1984.
Why it stands out
- Generous plot: 438.5 m² (about 133 tsubo)
- Built 1984, under the post-1981 earthquake code
- Spacious: 365.43 m² of floor area
Points to check
- Old wooden house: expect renovation work (roof, plumbing, insulation)
- Station is far or bus-only — you will likely need a car
- Currently occupied: viewing and handover depend on the owner
