• Price - 265,000,000 JPY

Renovated in the summer of 2021, this three bedroom condo boasts redone kitchen, bath and toilet facilities, new half bath off the master bedroom complete with shower, new floor heating system in the living / dining room with new wallpaper throughout the unit.

The half bath off the master bedroom, unique in Tokyo, allows for ample space to accommodate guests while maintaining a comfortable level of privacy.

Adding to the uniqueness of the unit, this corner condo boasts balconies on both ends; one off the living room and another off the bedrooms.  Thanks to these balconies plus the windows on the exterior wall, even the seemingly remote areas of the floor plan are bathed in natural light throughout the day.  

Views will be unobstructed far into the future thanks to several key features on the specific location.  One is that the building sits adjacent to Happo-En; a famed Japanese garden that spans for roughly 3 acres in the city centre.

Scenes from inside Happo-En, the Japanese garden this unit overlooks on the south side.  Best with noise cancelling headphones for maximum relaxation.

The other is a land zoning law in Tokyo that allows for more usable floor space to be built on lands adjacent to roads with four or more lanes.  For these plots of land, that means they are allowed to build higher than the surrounding zones tucked away from the main roads. 

This presents another unique resale proposition for this unit; these special zoned plots of land are sought after by developers always on the lookout for redevelopment opportunities.  

There is no telling when developers might come knocking, it could be years or several decades away, but it is nice to know this building has the option, however remote, where other properties on smaller streets do not.

However consumer demand for properties near Shirokanedai station has traditionally been high.  The area consistently ranks as one of Tokyo’s easiest to live neighbourhoods given its central, yet spacious, location.  Wide sidewalks, cafes, bistros, boutiques, trendy restaurants and world class town planning helps keep the area high in the rankings.

Living in Shirokanedai is easy to get accustomed to.  World class schools from pre-kindergarten to university level education are within walking distance, 24 hour grocery stores, easy access gas stations, cutting edge medical facilities and clinics all are abundant in the area.  

There is even the nearby Institute for Nature Study, a large botanical garden for even further escape from Tokyo’s frenetic pace.

This unit will not stay on the market long so reach out to set up a viewing today!
