Kyomachiya with wide frontage in Kitayama

Exterior: With a rare wide frontage for a Kyomachiya, this property has about 7.33m facing the road. The spacious entrance area can also accommodate bicycle parking.

Kitchen: The kitchen retains the traditional elements of a "Tooriniwa" aisle and the high-ceiling "Hibukuro". The high windows in the vaulted ceiling allow ample natural light to enter.

Tatami Room by the Entrance: This cozy room can serve as a small office or a remote workspace at home.

Japanese Room and Garden: Sunlight streams into the interior from the Engawa porch. The garden can be transformed into a beautiful Japanese-style garden with maple trees, hydrangeas, and moss.

2nd Floor: The large windows on the 2nd floor allow plenty of natural light and fresh air to flow in.

While some parts, such as the water plumbing facilities, have been repaired, this Kyomachiya remains largely unrenovated and preserves its original charm from the time it was built. This property boasts a practical layout with numerous rooms, featuring Kyoto-sized Tatami mats.

The retro appeal of the house offers an excellent opportunity for renovation, making it suitable for residential use, a combined home and workspace, or a hidden second home. Its location along a traditional alleyway allows you to immerse yourself in the rich history of the area while enjoying the comfort of your own unique retreat.
