The houses gently spread out towards Sagami Bay, with mountains in the distance surrounding the sea. The blue sky enhances the view, making it captivating. Personally, I believe that "what you want to see in your daily life" is a significant factor in choosing a home.
The available unit is on the top floor of a 5-story building. The south-facing windows offer a panoramic view of Zushi, nestled between lush mountains. To the left is Sakurayama, marking the boundary between Zushi and Hayama, and to the right is the quiet hilltop of Hirooyama, each showcasing different expressions with the changing seasons.
The cityscape beyond the JR Yokosuka Line tracks stretches out, embraced by the mountains on both sides, with the serene Sagami Bay merging with the sky. Although close to the tracks, the vibrations and noise from the trains are barely noticeable, allowing you to enjoy the open view in a relaxed manner.
However, it seems the interior does not fully utilize this excellent view. Let's look at the floor plan. The unit is a unique trapezoidal 1LDK, with a 3.5-tatami mat Western-style room that's cramped if a single bed is placed inside.
On the other hand, the living-dining area is a spacious 24-tatami mat space. There is a partition, and the space opposite the kitchen can be used as a bedroom. By removing the wall separating this space from the living area
and adding a wall and glass door on the living side, you can create a brighter, more open bedroom. The morning light will gently illuminate the room.
To further enhance the room's character with this light, finishing the walls and ceiling with plaster would be enjoyable as it changes the room's impression with the light's angle. Covering the floor with solid wood and elevating a part of the living room into a tatami space would allow you to enjoy the view lying on the tatami on sunny days.
The kitchen can be used as is, but the color feels a bit heavy. For example, replacing it with a skeleton kitchen and DIYing the storage shelves could be fun. Personalizing small parts like switches and lighting can also be enjoyable, with inspiration from the catalog or website of "toolbox," a group company of R Real Estate.
It's about a 12-minute walk to JR Zushi Station. The area in front of the station has individual shops scattered around, so take a slightly longer way home to discover your favorite stores. Over time, the view from your room will become something special.
