A White Kyomachiya Bathed in Skylight
about
Approx. 9-minute walk from JR Umekoji-Kyotonishi Station
This Kyomachiya features a spacious 4-Tatami-mats entrance and a generously sized living-dining area with a minimalist finish - ready to be styled freely to suit your lifestyle.
Fully renovated in May 2015, it has been lovingly maintained by the current owner, with care and affection evident throughout.
-
The exterior features an original front door and pale blue wood paneling, creating a charming, shop-like appearance. Inside, the entryway is lined with custom shelves and niches, making smart use of the space. Natural light flows in through the front windows, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
-
The expansive 17-Tatami-mats living-dining area is unified with white walls and ceiling, which enhances the sense of space and brightness. Acrylic panels fitted into the stair risers allow sunlight from the skylights to reach the ground floor, adding warmth and natural light to the home.
-
Upstairs, the Western-style bedroom boasts high ceilings, adding to the spacious feel. Each room includes built-in storage, and the loft is ideal for keeping seasonal items neatly tucked away.
plan
The entryway connects the outdoors and interior with a generous open space that invites versatile use - perfect as a hobby area or studio. The roughly 17-Tatami-mats living room has no partitions, giving it an open and airy feel, ideal for gatherings or home parties with friends.
Public spaces such as the living and dining areas are located on the 1st floor, while private spaces like bedrooms and children's rooms are on the 2nd floor - creating a comfortable separation between shared and personal zones.
Staircases in traditional homes are often dim, but here, 2 skylights and white walls work together to create a light-filled, warm atmosphere throughout.
