Located in the coastal charm of Murakami City, Niigata, this spacious Japanese-style home offers a rare opportunity for those who dream of living in a traditional yet comfortable setting. Built in 1977 and beautifully renovated in 1997 and again in 2005, the two-story wooden residence spans an impressive 247㎡ of living space, with a total of 8 bedrooms and a large 20-tatami LDK.
Set on a generous 652㎡ plot, the property provides a garden where you can enjoy seasonal beauty🍂 and even host outdoor gatherings. With parking for up to 8 cars. Inside, modern comforts have been added through renovations, new plumbing, updated bathrooms, fresh tatami, and re-painted walls, while maintaining the traditional Japanese roof and wooden structure that give the home its authentic character 🏯.
Convenience is another highlight: the house is just about 2.4km from the nearest train station (5 min drive), a short walk to Kanbayashi Junior High School (350m), and close to shopping, the city hall, and even Iwafune Port’s famous fresh fish market 🐟. With national routes and expressway interchanges nearby, access to surrounding areas is simple and practical.
