Sea-View Family House in Kobe Houses in Kobe, Japan

Why This Opportunity

• A view over the sea to a major bridge

  The upper-floor living space and balcony look out over the sea, and the photographs show the view by day, at sunset and at dusk.

• Three-car parking with covered access

  A reinforced concrete garage takes two cars and a third space sits in front, and the garage connects to the house so residents can come in without getting wet.

• Premium kitchen fittings

  The made-to-order kitchen includes a dishwasher, an IH cooktop with barbecue grill and an oven from premium makers, equipment a buyer would otherwise have to add.

• Documents that support the build

  The listing materials cite performance evaluation reports, energy-efficiency certification, a completion inspection certificate and drawings.

• South-facing, with garden and barbecue space

  Main windows face south with nothing directly in front, and a private garden and barbecue space sit on the north side of the middle floor.

• Floor heating and a bathroom with a window

  Floor heating runs through the house, including the kitchen, and the bathroom of a tsubo or more has heating, a dryer and a window.

• Three stations within a short walk

  The closest station is seven minutes away on foot, and two others are each 12 minutes, giving a choice of rail routes.
