Built in 2016!? Just $133K!? Unbelievable Move-In Ready Home (Sold)

This property has now sold, but it remains a strong example of what’s possible in this market.

Move-In Ready Near the Metro

Built in 2016 and lovingly cared for, the house sits on a compact 61m² plot and features 56m² of floor space. With its clean interior, thoughtful layout, and even a private parking spot, this is a rare gem in one of Kanagawa’s most livable commuter cities.

Just under an hour from Shinjuku by train, this bright, well-maintained home in Zama City offers modern comfort without Tokyo’s price tag.

✨ Why It Stands Out

Modern Build (2016)
Unlike many properties on the Akiya market, this house is less than a decade old, offering peace of mind in terms of structure, plumbing, and insulation.

Smart Layout
A practical downstairs layout includes a sunny LDK (Living/Dining/Kitchen) and a sparkling-clean bath/toilet setup. Upstairs you’ll find three rooms including two adjoining ones that could easily become a large primary bedroom, home office, or guest space.

Bonus Loft
There’s even a cozy loft, perfect for extra storage, a reading nook, or a tucked-away sleeping area.

Private Parking Included
Yes, this house has its own driveway, a real plus in suburban Kanagawa where street parking isn’t always guaranteed.
