Description
This exceptional modern custom residence is situated in the historic city of Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, in the tranquil neighborhood of Sasame-cho. Constructed in October 2017, the property is a rare blend of contemporary architectural design and traditional Japanese elements, offering a unique living experience that harmonizes with Kamakura’s lush, green landscape. The house sits on an expansive freehold parcel of 904.61 square meters (approximately 9,737 square feet), providing ample space for both indoor and outdoor living.
The residence features a total indoor living area of 116.20 square meters (about 1,250.77 square feet) spread across two above-ground floors. The architectural design is highlighted by a spacious open-concept living, dining, and kitchen (LDK) area on the second floor, measuring over 27 tatami mats in size. This area is bathed in natural light and seamlessly connects to a balcony, offering picturesque views of the surrounding greenery. The kitchen is equipped with a modern system kitchen, making it ideal for both everyday family meals and entertaining guests. Adjacent to the kitchen is a convenient pantry, providing additional storage and functionality.
On the first floor, the home incorporates a traditional Japanese "Doma"—an earthen-floor entrance space that connects directly to an outdoor terrace. This unique feature not only pays homage to classic Japanese architecture but also serves as a versatile area for welcoming guests, storing outdoor gear, or simply enjoying the transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The first floor also houses three Western-style bedrooms, each sized at 5.8, 5.7, and 5.3 tatami mats, respectively. Two of these bedrooms are complemented by dedicated walk-in closets, ensuring ample storage for clothing and personal items.
The property’s layout is highly functional, with a total of three bedrooms and one bathroom. The bathroom is equipped with modern amenities, including a separate bath and toilet, a shower, a separate wash basin, a bidet toilet, and a bathroom dryer. Wood flooring throughout the home adds warmth and elegance, while features such as a balcony and a private garden enhance the overall living experience. The garden provides a serene outdoor retreat, perfect for relaxation, gardening, or entertaining.
Additional features include bicycle and motorcycle parking, a closet and walk-in closet for extra storage, and a parking space for two cars on the private drive. The property is pet-friendly, with pets negotiable upon consultation. The house is built to the new seismic code (post-1981), ensuring modern earthquake resistance and safety.
The location is one of the property’s most significant advantages. It is just a 15-minute walk from JR Kamakura Station, providing easy access to Tokyo and other major destinations. The neighborhood is renowned for its historical significance, scenic beauty, and vibrant local culture. Residents can enjoy proximity to Kamakura’s famous temples, shrines, and hiking trails, as well as a variety of cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops.
Families will appreciate the highly rated school zone, with Onari Elementary School just a 12-minute walk (900 meters) away and Onari Junior High School only 8 minutes (630 meters) on foot. Kamakura City Hall and the Kinokuniya Supermarket are also within walking distance, making daily errands convenient and efficient.
The property is currently vacant and will be available from early November 2026. It is offered under an open listing agreement, providing flexibility for interested buyers. The land rights are freehold, and the building coverage ratio is 40%, with a floor area ratio of 80%, allowing for potential future expansion or customization.
This residence is ideal for those seeking a luxurious yet comfortable home in one of Japan’s most desirable and culturally rich locations. Whether you are looking for a primary residence, a vacation home, or an investment property, this modern custom house in Kamakura offers an unparalleled combination of space, style, and convenience. The blend of traditional and modern elements, extensive land, and prime location make it a truly unique opportunity in the Japanese real estate market.
