Japanese Mansion in Kitayama

Introducing a Japanese mansion located in a quiet residential area with a good living environment, about a 6-minute walk to subway Karasuma Line Kitayama Station and within walking distance to the Kamo River.
The neighborhood is known as one of the best educational districts in Kyoto, with many cultural facilities such as the Prefectural Botanical Gardens, Kyoto Institute Library and Archives, Kyoto Concert Hall, and Kyoto Prefectural University.

As the Kamo River is about a 12-minute walk (about 900m) away, this is an area with rich nature and beautiful seasonal changes close at hand: cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, autumn leaves in fall and snowy landscapes in winter. In an 8-minute walk (approx. 620m) there is the Nakaragi-no-Michi, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, and the Kyoto Botanical Gardens (Kitayama-mon gate).

With a total floor area of approx. 149.77sqm and a site area of 159sqm, this wooden house is a Japanese-style mansion with a garden. Through the well-maintained garden, the interior fittings, and the refined furnishings, you can feel the carpenter's meticulous handiwork down to the smallest detail.

Passing through the front garden and entering the entranceway, you will find a 2sqm Japanese-style room called "Yoritsuki". Originally used in the tea ceremony, it is also known as a welcoming place for the guests before entering the tea ceremony room.

This is a beautiful home built with the owner's particular attention to details.
The Japanese-style room immediately after the entrance is designed in the Sukiya style, and the kitchen and bathroom are equipped with supplies from famous manufacturers such as kitchenhouse, Miele, GROHE, etc., creating a modern structure in which Japanese and Western styles are well-blended in harmony.

On the 1F is a south-facing spacious living room of approx. 22.5sqm which is bright and sunny during the day. At the end of the hallway from the kitchen are the bathroom and the powder room, allowing you to move around efficiently. On the 2F, a 10.5sqm room, an 8sqm room (with walk-in closet), and a storage room are located which provides ample storage space.

Since the house is kept in clean and good condition, you can move in immediately and use it as is.
