Two Terraced Kyomachiya with Stately Facades

Scroll

Situated just off the intersection of Kitayama Street and Horikawa Street, this impressive Kyomachiya is nestled quietly at the end of an alley.

This largely unrenovated Kyomachiya, consisting of two terraced houses, has had some repairs, including updates to the plumbing. While retaining its original charm from the time it was built, it features a practical layout with numerous rooms.

The retro appeal of the house offers an excellent opportunity for renovation, making it suitable for residential use, a combined home and workspace, or a hidden second home. Its location along a traditional alleyway allows you to immerse yourself in the rich history of the area while enjoying the comfort of your own unique retreat.

South 南側_間取図

The facade features an unusually wide frontage for a Kyomachiya. The kitchen retains the traditional design elements of a Toriniwa aisle and Hibukuro. The double-height ceiling includes high windows that allow natural light to pour in. The Japanese-style room with a splendid Tokonoma alcove shows its age but is in good condition. Simply replacing the Tatami mats would significantly transform the atmosphere.

The 2nd floor features large windows that allow plenty of natural light and fresh air to flow through the space.
