This fully refreshed **3LDK house** in **Fukaya City**, **Saitama** offers exactly that. **Built in 1981** and **comprehensively renovated**, the home has never been lived in since completion, making it feel genuinely new inside. \n\nWith open countryside views, modern systems, and a flat, bike-friendly setting just **under 20 minutes on foot from Okabe Station**, it’s a strong option for a second home, slow-living base, or Tokyo-accessible retreat.\n\n![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHeGC5iQRSxkcZBIVfXTosLCKgS871nmebPj6d2)## 🛠️ Property Features & Highlights\n\n- 🏡 **3LDK layout across 70.37 sqm**, with excellent storage and clean room separation\n- ✨ **Fully renovated interior**: new flooring throughout, fresh wall finishes, and modern lighting\n- 🍽️ **Brand new system kitchen** with three-burner gas stove and grill, never used\n- 🌀 **New air-conditioning units** installed throughout, capable of cooling all rooms efficiently\n- 🛁 **Refreshed bathroom** with new wall panels and a window for ventilation\n- 🚿 **New wet area** with vanity, washing machine space, and updated fixtures\n- 🚽 **Brand new modern toilet**\n- 🔌 **Updated electrical panel and wiring**, suitable for modern appliances and daily use\n- 🌿 **Traditional details preserved**: elegant *sukashibori ranma* (openwork wood transoms) between rooms on the first floor\n- 🌞 **Excellent sunlight and airflow**, with multiple exposures and open views over surrounding fields\n- 🚗 **Parking for two small cars** or one large vehicle\n- 🔑 **Utilities connected**, truly move-in ready\n- 🌱 **Quiet residential setting** with a calm, rural feel\n\n![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHeLUahEklTOo3zRFQt9ZpVx0AbKSCJNX6l7cMs)## 🛋️ Freshly Finished, Calmly Placed\n\nThe home’s first floor centers around a **bright LDK** with new flooring and a comfortable flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Subtle **traditional details**, like the carved wooden *ranma* above interior openings, add warmth and character without overwhelming the **modern refresh**.\n\nUpstairs, **three bedrooms** benefit from **new flooring** and efficient **air-conditioning**, with access to a balcony overlooking open farmland. With no neighboring buildings blocking the view, the house feels open and breathable, ideal for **weekend stays** or **longer seasonal use**.\n\nCrucially, no one has lived in the property since renovations were completed, so **kitchens**, **bath**, **toilet**, and **finishes remain untouched**. For buyers who want a clean slate without construction headaches, that freshness is a rare advantage.\n\n![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHe4VOCvVUC8mXJsStg3o1rlGwOPe7M9uAFYbVq)## 📍 Welcome to Fukaya City, Saitama\n\nLocated in northwestern Saitama, **Fukaya City** is best known as the birthplace of Eiichi Shibusawa, often called the father of modern Japanese capitalism (his picture graces the ¥10,000 bill). Today, it’s a relaxed, agriculture-rich city where **flat terrain**, **open skies**, and **strong transport links** make everyday life simple and comfortable. \n\n**Okabe Station, about a 19-minute walk** from the property, provides access via the **JR Takasaki Line**, with **Tokyo reachable in around an hour**. Roads are wide and traffic light, making cycling and driving easy. **Daily conveniences are close at hand**, including supermarkets, convenience stores, fuel stations, and clinics. One local highlight is Michi-no-Eki Okabe, a popular roadside market just a short bike ride or drive away. Known for **fresh local produce**, **prepared foods**, and **regional specialties**, it’s a favorite stop for both residents and visitors, and an easy way to connect with Fukaya’s agricultural culture.\n\nBeyond daily life, Fukaya offers a balance of history, nature, and modern amenities: local **produce markets and flower farms**; the beautifully preserved red-brick **Fukaya Station building**; nearby hot springs, parks, and **outlet shopping at Fukaya Hanazono**; and easy **access to Gunma, Kumagaya, and the wider Kanto region**. It’s a place where life moves at a calmer pace, without feeling isolated.\n\n![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHexS64JrCoHvgJZzC3BG7U15PmWMlKb8qhAtyc)## 🗺️ Quick Property Snapshot\n\n- 🏡 **2-story 3LDK** wooden home\n- 📐 **70.37 sqm living space** / \\~120 sqm land area\n- 🚗 **Parking for up to two** small cars\n- 🛠️ **Built 1981**, fully renovated 2024–2025\n- 🚿 **New kitchen**, **bath**, **wet area**, toilet, flooring, A/C, and electrical upgrades\n- 🌾 **Open countryside views**, quiet residential neighborhood\n- 🚉 **Approx. 19-minute walk to Okabe Station**\n- 💴 **¥8,900,000 / \\~$57,000 USD** (flexible seller)\n- 🤝 **Reduced Program Fee:** ~~\\~$4,976~~ **$999 USD** (in-house listing)\n- **🔍** **Inspection optional at buyer’s discretion**; total cost may vary\n\n![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHeZSVhbqXPZO7bvh6rackRqgAe21BW9NUC0jxJ)## 🔎 Check It Out\n\nLet **Shu**, the owner, walk you through the renovation and finished home.\n\n[youtube]\n\n## 🧭 Your Next Step\n\nBuying in Japan doesn’t have to be a solo journey.
