But that’s not unusual for homes of this size and age in rural Chiba. And honestly? The condition is surprisingly solid. ![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHeg2uxW7OxKFDJBonyRLO2wk0TE6ZtqaUcWIzj)### 🤔 Wait, What’s the Catch? Let’s walk through it: Downstairs, there’s a spacious Western-style room, a renovated kitchen, a large vanity area, a traditional Japanese bath, and five tatami rooms -- yes, five. The toilet room alone feels like it belongs in a public building, it’s that big. Upstairs is where it really shines: fully renovated, with a bright bedroom, walk-in closet, small second kitchen, modern unit bath, and another small bedroom. The second floor could almost be its own apartment. And out back? A massive, open backyard waiting for whatever you can dream up. ![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHe6X8lfSPfALgY5haedFHv7pyZnJjVWTSkqO24)### 📍 Iwasaka, Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture Just 90 minutes from central Tokyo. This spacious 7LDK home in Futtsu, Chiba offers a rare mix of livable space, privacy, and potential on a plot so large, you could easily forget you're still in the Tokyo metro area. --- ### **💰 Full Cost Breakdown: What You’ll Actually Spend** Buying a property in Japan involves more than just the listing price.

The layout is functional, the structure feels steady, and the updates upstairs make this far more than a teardown. 🛋️ **Move-In Ready (Upstairs):** Live in comfort on the second floor from day one while planning any gradual upgrades downstairs. The hard part is already done. 🚉 **Commutable Calm:** Located in Futtsu, you’re less than 2 hours from central Tokyo, but worlds away in atmosphere. Peaceful, residential, and ideal for anyone craving a slower pace with city access when needed. --- ## **Property Overview** ![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHe5tpZBgEYhbPSutBdTRoqpC0KIljyzax9w6sN) --- ## **Property Layout & Photos** ![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHe5xmy20gEYhbPSutBdTRoqpC0KIljyzax9w6s)![](https://utfs.io/f/UVgsUOm7zpHeGMAAvTSxkcZBIVfXTosLCKgS871nmebPj6d2) --- ### Would You Live Here or Turn It Into Something More?
