ABOUT

This property is no longer available.

This is a fully renovated traditional ‘machiya’ townhouse in central Kyoto City. The home has been completely renovated, with a new concrete slab foundation, natural Japanese ash hardwood floors, all new plumbing and electrical, kitchen with 3-burner gas cooktop and grill, TOTO electric toilet, system bath, Japanese tsubo-niwa garden, new windows and drywall, new siding on end of house.

To make the home as comfortable as possible in the warmer and colder months, there is full floor heating in the ground floor living/dining/kitchen and powder room, air-conditioners/heaters on the 1st (1 unit) and 2nd (2 units) floors, double-glazed windows, and insulation in the ceiling and walls.

This house is one of 10 terraces, with five on the northern side of the laneway and five on the southern side. It is at the end of the terrace and shares a party wall with one neighbor on the eastern side. According to tax records obtained from the Kyoto City Tax Office, the terraces may have been built around 1902..

The location is great for someone looking for a weekender, with Nijo Castle just down the street and the popular Sanjo Street a 15 minute walk. A 15 minute walk to the East will take you to the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Continue walking another 10 minutes and you will find yourself at Kamo River, just upstream from the Ritz-Carlton. From Kyoto Station, it is about a 15 ~ 20 minute ride by taxi. For public transport options, it is a 9 minute walk to Nijojo-mae Station on the Tozai Subway Line.

The house is located alongside a 1.6 meter wide laneway with no car access. Due to the width of the laneway, the house cannot be rebuilt. The land is zoned as Category I Residential.
