This beautifully renovated two story wooden house, blends vintage character with modern comfort in one of Kyoto’s most historic neighborhoods. Built in July 1961 and fully renovated in May 2025, the house offers a total living space of 61㎡.
Inside, the layout features one private bedroom, a bright open living dining kitchen, and a separate storeroom, ideal for couples, remote workers, or anyone dreaming of a Kyoto second home. The second floor is the true highlight, with exposed wooden beams creating warmth and architectural charm while natural light floods the open space. Downstairs, you’ll find modernized water facilities including a renewed bathroom, kitchen, toilet, and basin, all replaced during the full renovation.
The roof tiles, exterior walls, windows, flooring, ceilings, and even a brand new balcony were also updated, so you step into a home that feels fresh while preserving its original soul ✨
