Semi-Renovated Surprise in Chiba

Tucked away in Ichihara, Chiba, this two-story akiya offers a surprising blend of size, potential, and location at a price that might have you doing a double take.

🚉 Just 8 Minutes to Kazusa-Yamada Station

Location matters and this one’s a win. You’re within walking distance to the nearest station, which connects you to greater Chiba and the Tokyo region. Whether you're commuting, investing, or weekending, accessibility like this makes a difference.

✨ Why It Stands Out

• Semi-Renovated: Many updates already completed, offering a head start

• Spacious Layout: 5DK means room to stretch, host, or rent

• Solid Investment: With light renovation, could be an attractive rental or vacation home

• Commuter-Friendly: Access to Kazusa-Yamada Station in under 10 minutes

🤯 Total Dream Home: Around $62K USD!! 🤯

Inside the Home

From the genkan (entryway), a compact tatami room sits to the right, perfect for guests or a cozy tea nook. To the left? Spacious double tatami rooms that feel inviting and flexible, ready to be reimagined for lounging, working, or entertaining.

Beyond that lies the kitchen and dining area, dated but functional, and the bath area, which admittedly needs some elbow grease. The vanity? Definitely a project. But the toilet room? Surprisingly modern and clean.

Upstairs, you’ll find another tatami space and a western-style bedroom that could use a style refresh. There's even a second toilet upstairs but fair warning: it comes with an unpleasant surprise. (Let’s just say someone got a little too comfortable during a past visit.)

Still, the layout is solid, the bones are good, and there’s real value here for the right buyer.

🌿 Would You Live Here or Turn It Into an Investment Project?

Whether you’re picturing a quiet retreat just outside Tokyo, a renovation adventure, or a rental with long-term upside, this semi-renovated home in Chiba offers solid bones, a great location, and a price that opens the door for all kinds of possibilities.
