Central Kyoto. 3 Floors. $96K.

A Kyoto Renovation Steps from the Station
Renovated in October 2024, this wooden structure was originally built in 1990,
but you wouldn’t know it from the inside.
Would You Have Bought This for $96K?
This one’s already off the market, but it’s too good not to talk about.
In the middle of Kyoto’s Nakagyo Ward, just minutes from temples, transit, and all the charm of old-meets-modern Japan, sits a sleek, three-story home that blends compact living with thoughtful design.
While it doesn’t have parking, it makes up for that with three-line rail access: the Keifuku, Hankyu, and JR lines are all walkable.

✨ Why It Stands Out
Renovated Interiors: Everything feels fresh, from the bathroom vanity to the kitchen cabinetry. It’s clean, modern, and move-in ready.
Light-Filled Living Space: The second floor’s L-shaped kitchen, dining, and living area is filled with natural light and is surprisingly open for a narrow home.
Versatile Top Floor: The third-floor bedroom has storage and flex space -- ideal for a home office or guest room.
👀 Catch: It’s right next to a train track. For some, that’s a dealbreaker. For others, especially investors or city lovers, it’s ambient city life.

Would You Live Here or Rent It Out?
This one’s turnkey and centrally located, a rare combo. For Kyoto lovers or short-term rental hopefuls (pending permit availability), this is a compelling choice with little renovation needed.
