[Assessed 83.3%] Detached house in Kawagoe, Saitama — 10 min from Matoba Sta.

A pre-owned detached house in Oaza Matoba, Kawagoe, a 10-minute walk (800 m) from Matoba Station on the JR Kawagoe Line. Kasumigaseki Station on the Tobu Tojo Line is listed at a 20-minute walk and Nishi-Kawagoe Station on the JR Kawagoe Line at 34 minutes. It is one of a row of houses developed and sold by ME Group, zoned Quasi-industrial (building coverage 60%, floor area ratio 200%). The listing gives the location only down to Oaza Matoba; the lot number is not disclosed.

The building is a two-story wooden 4LDK built in December 2016, with 98.12 m² of floor area (registered) on 109.21 m² of freehold land (registered) with no private road share. There is a parking space, public water, public sewer and city gas, and the house is available for immediate handover. In the listing photos the road on the south side and the lot are at the same level with no steps, the retaining height at the right-hand boundary is only about 0.6 m, and no retaining wall is visible. The north (rear) boundary does not appear in the photos. The price is ¥24.8 million, and no yield or expected rent is listed.

⚠️ The front road is listed as 3 m wide, short of the 4 m required in principle by the Building Standards Act. The listing makes no mention of a setback, but a rebuild is expected to require setting the lot back to 2 m from the road's center line. We deducted that portion (a setback of about 0.5 m × a frontage of about 8 m, about 4 m²) and calculated the assessment on an effective lot area of 105.21 m². Without the deduction the assessed ratio would be about 84.5%. On the other hand, the road looks closer to 4 m in the listing photos, so the actual width and whether a setback is needed must be confirmed with the broker.

The 2026 route price of ¥75,000/m² is used as the representative value. Because the lot number is not disclosed, we estimated the location from the listed distances to stations, shops and schools, and took the most common band among the block roads in the southeastern area where the distances fit best (¥74,000/m² in 2024, ¥75,000/m² in 2025). The northern band that covers most of the estimated range (¥105,000/m²) would give about 96.0%, and even the lowest band in the range, ¥71,000/m², gives about 81.6%. Of the nearby places, the three shops use the distances given in the listing's neighborhood section, and the three restaurants use straight-line distances from Matoba Station (OpenStreetMap).
