Hidden away in the calm surroundings of Sanmu, Chiba Prefecture, this traditional Japanese-style home blends comfort and charm with practicality. Built in 1994 and located just 90 minutes from Tokyo, it offers a spacious 125㎡ of living space. This 5DK house features both Japanese and Western-style rooms, giving you flexibility.
With five bedrooms and spacious living areas, this home sits on a 450㎡ plot plus an extra lot across the road — perfect for gardening or your own outdoor retreat 🌿. Inside, you’ll find a bright d,ing kitchen, cozy tatami rooms, and ample space for family life or relaxation. Though built in 1994, it has been partially renovated, making it move-in ready while leaving room for your personal touch.
A standout feature is the parking for up to 5 cars, rare in Japan. The house is just a 17-minute walk to the nearest station, with direct train access to Chiba City and Tokyo. Essentials like supermarkets, schools, and hospitals are also close by.
