About the property

A top-floor maisonette on two levels with two balconies, four minutes on foot from the subway.

This Kyoto address is in the middle of the city, where the principal commercial streets and the railway lines meet, and a subway station is about a four-minute walk away. The home is a top-floor maisonette of about 94.35 square metres, spanning the two upper floors of a 15-storey building completed in 2006. An internal staircase links the levels, a void opens above part of the living room, and there is a balcony on each floor with views across the rooftops to the hills. It suits a buyer wanting a distinctive city apartment with generous storage.

Why buy

  • A maisonette on the top two floors

    The unit spans the 14th and 15th floors with an internal staircase and a void above the living room, an arrangement that most apartments in the city do not offer.

  • Four minutes from Karasuma-Oike Station

    The Kyoto Municipal Subway Karasuma Line is about a four-minute walk away, in the centre of Nakagyo-ku.

  • Two balconies and open views

    The floor plan shows a balcony on each level, and the photographs show views across Kyoto's roofs towards the hills.

  • Storage planned into the layout

    Two walk-in closets, a shoe-in closet and a den of about 4.6 tatami that is listed as a storage room.

  • Freehold ownership open to foreign buyers

    The land right is ownership, and Japan places no restriction on foreign buyers owning land and buildings.
