a writer's retreat with a library near Sennyuji
Sennyuji, a tranquil haven with green surroundings
Nestled in the southern area of Higashiyama Ward, Sennyuji is a place where nature and convenience coexist harmoniously - surrounded by the greenery of rivers and mountains yet with excellent access to both JR and Keihan train lines. Tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood just off the main road, this fully renovated retreat is a hidden gem.
At the end of a narrow staircase, you'll find a semi-underground library and an airy study, making this property the perfect hideaway for literary enthusiasts. The design incorporates traditional architectural elements, allowing you to enjoy a sense of nostalgia while living in a peaceful and serene modern space.
AREA
Located close to the mountains, Imakumano offers an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the ever-changing beauty of Higashiyama’s four seasons. Here, you can feel the arrival of each season earlier than in the city, making it an ideal area for those who appreciate nature. Slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of urban life, this quiet and relaxed neighborhood is perfect for a peaceful lifestyle.
The area is also convenient; with the Imakumano Shopping Street which features a mix of traditional stores and modern supermarkets like Fresco, as well as the Kyoto First Red Cross Hospital within walking distance. With both JR and Keihan stations nearby, you can enjoy a serene life surrounded by nature without sacrificing accessibility.
PLAN
This residence, fully renovated in 2024, seamlessly blends the charm of traditional architecture with modern living. The design preserves the appeal of the original fittings while being thoughtfully updated for contemporary life.
A standout feature is the spacious study, boasting high ceilings that create an open and airy atmosphere. The approximately 4.5 mats-sized semi-basement area is equipped with wall-to-wall bookshelves, making it an ideal space for those who want to immerse themselves in their hobbies or work. It could also serve as a cozy play area for young children.
The home also offers practical living spaces, including a generously sized powder room with easy access to an outdoor entrance, a user-friendly Western-style living-dining kitchen on the 2nd floor, and a comfortable bedroom - all designed with a focus on livability and convenience.
