This renovated 3-bedroom apartment for sale in Tokyo sits in Shimo-ochiai, Shinjuku, with three train lines within a 14-minute walk. It covers 70 m² in a reinforced-concrete building completed in March 2001 by the developer Shinnihon Tatemono. Three bedrooms and one bathroom make a practical layout for a family, or for a Tokyo base that needs space for guests. The renovation work is extensive, so the next owner can move in without taking on a building project.
### What Has Already Been Renovated
The work goes well beyond a fresh coat of paint. Flooring, wallpaper and lighting have all been renewed, and so have the kitchen, toilet and bathroom. The kitchen comes with a dishwasher. The bathroom has a built-in drying machine, which anyone who has hung laundry through Tokyo's rainy season will appreciate. The closets have been redone, and the water supply and hot water pipes inside the apartment have been replaced, together with the water heater.
Two comfort details stand out. There is an underfloor heating mat in the living and dining area, so winter mornings start on a warm floor. There is also one air conditioner installed. Condition is rated good, and the data points to a home that is ready to live in.
### Layout, Building and Monthly Costs
The apartment measures 70.05 m² (about 754 sq ft) with three bedrooms and a single bathroom. In central Tokyo that is a comfortable size, and the third bedroom can serve as a study or guest room.
