About the property

A 1933 timber townhouse with a garden, vacant and offered unrenovated, three minutes on foot from a station.

This is a traditional Kyoto timber townhouse of the kind that shaped the old city streets, offered in an unrenovated state. Built in 1933, it has two storeys above ground and a four-room layout with a garden, on a plot of about 125 square metres held in ownership with the building. A station is about a three-minute walk away, and the zoning is neighbourhood commercial. The listing states repairs are required before use, so it suits a buyer ready to plan a survey and a renovation budget.

Why buy

  • Three minutes from Sanjo Station

    The listing places the house about a three-minute walk from Sanjo Station, so central Kyoto is reachable on foot or by rail without relying on a car.

  • Land and building held in ownership

    Land Right is stated as ownership, so the 124.73 square metre plot and the house on it are held outright rather than on a lease.

  • A 1933 machiya with a garden

    Built in 1933 on two floors with a 4K layout and a garden, the house keeps the traditional townhouse form that defines the older streets of Kyoto.

  • Neighbourhood commercial zoning

    The zoning allows a mix of residential and small commercial use, which gives a buyer more room to decide how the house is eventually used.

  • Vacant, with flexible availability

    The listing states the property is vacant and available on negotiable terms, so the purchase is not tied to an existing occupant.

  • Unrenovated, so the scope is the buyer's

    The house needs repairs before use, which leaves the renovation scope, the finishes and the end use to be set by the new owner.
