## **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.

### **💰 Full Cost Breakdown: What You’ll Actually Spend**

Buying a property in Japan involves more than just the listing price. This snapshot from our calculator gives you a clearer picture of the total estimated budget, including taxes, fees, and other recurring costs so you can plan with confidence. 

***(Prices as of June 2025)***

**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.
