The renovation was carried out by toolbox, a group site of Tokyo R Real Estate, and the attention to detail is evident in every corner.

The living, dining, and kitchen area features teak wood parquet flooring interspersed with white-painted sections, with decorative shelves and wood panel walls throughout.

In 2022, all plumbing and water supply/drainage systems were completely overhauled. The 2LDK floor plan features a particularly impressive entrance hall of 5.5 tatami mats, large enough to serve as a study or hobby space, with a generous earthen floor area that can accommodate bicycles or strollers.

Property 9: $367,360 | Brand-New Detached Home with LDK on 2nd Floor | Higashikurume City, Tokyo

Walls and ceilings are finished in white diatomaceous earth wallpaper, with solid pine flooring and basswood fixtures throughout.

Situated in the lush, green neighborhood of Kami-Ochiai, Shinjuku Ward, this apartment will immediately impress with its dramatic 21-tatami mat living room — made possible by the removal of the original ceiling to maximize vertical space. The solid wood flooring and exposed concrete create a balanced atmosphere that is neither too rough nor too refined.

The 2LDK floor plan is well-suited to couples planning for the future or small families. The additional Western-style room of 4 tatami mats is flexible: a study today, a children's room tomorrow. A walk-in closet and mudroom storage provide practical storage solutions for growing families.

Property 11: $806,554 | Greenway Maisonette with Private Garden Access in Setagaya | Setagaya Ward, Tokyo

This unique cooperative housing maisonette in Kamiuma, Setagaya Ward, is a property unlike almost anything else on the market in Tokyo. Located roughly halfway between Komazawa-Daigaku Station and Shoin-jinja-mae Station, the home is positioned directly along a quiet, tree-lined greenway — and you can step out from the dining area directly onto it, as if the greenway were your own private garden.

The layout spans from the basement to the first floor. The basement living space features remarkably high ceilings, an open, partition-free design, skylights, and grating on the first-floor ceiling to channel natural light downward — making it far brighter than a typical below-ground room. The first floor dining kitchen has a mortar floor finish with a relaxed cafe-like atmosphere and large windows facing the greenway. The seller has lived there for approximately 19 years, so some pre-move-in maintenance or customization is expected. The basement has potential to be divided into a private room with additional construction. Komazawa Park is a short walk away, and Sangenjaya and Sakurashinmachi are also easily accessible. Pets are allowed. An exclusive parking space is included.

Price: ¥128,000,000 (approximately $806,554 USD) Exclusive Area: 100.86 m² (1,085.8 ft²) Layout: Maisonette (B1 to 1F) Built: 2007 Floor: B1 to 1st floor Structure: Reinforced concrete, 3 stories + 1 basement level Management Fee: ¥16,219/month Repair Reserve Fund: ¥4,830/month Parking: Yes (exclusive usage rights) Status: Occupied (handover negotiable)

Located in Ikejiri, Setagaya Ward, just a 6-minute walk from Ikejiri-Ohashi Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line, this apartment in a wave-shaped retro building from 1976 offers something truly distinctive: a vast, tunnel-like living space that rewards a buyer willing to embrace an unconventional floor plan. The building has undergone seismic reinforcement work and now meets the new earthquake resistance standards.

The wide, deeply proportioned living room is the centerpiece — large enough that you can choose to furnish it loosely, leave expansive open space, or both. Natural light is soft and filtered, creating a calm, atmospheric mood throughout the day. A cherry tree just beyond the second-floor balcony provides natural privacy screening from the street. The standout for cooking enthusiasts is the elaborate kitchen, featuring a cast iron range hood, a built-in oven, and a generous layout that practically invites entertaining. The property is currently vacant and ready for handover by negotiation. Note: no pets allowed.

Price: ¥98,500,000 (approximately $620,668 USD) Exclusive Area: 82.26 m² (885.4 ft²) Layout: (Open LDK configuration) Built: 1976 Floor: 2nd floor of 5 (+ 1 basement level) Structure: Reinforced concrete Management Fee: ¥15,300/month Repair Reserve Fund: ¥10,160/month Storage Room: Available (¥4,116/month) Parking: Available Status: Vacant (handover negotiable)
