[Assessed 91.9%] Detached house in Higashimurayama, Tokyo — 5 min from Seibuen Sta.

A wooden detached house in Tamako-cho 4-chome, Higashimurayama, listed as a 5-minute walk from Seibuen Station on the Seibu Seibuen Line and a 10-minute walk from Tamako Station on the Seibu Tamako Line (Higashimurayama Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line is a 30-minute walk). It lies in a residential area zoned Category 1 Low-Rise Exclusive Residential (building coverage 50%, floor area ratio 100%), with public water, public sewer and city gas. Distances to nearby places are straight-line distances measured on OpenStreetMap from the centroid of Tamako-cho 4-chome (GSI address search): about 520 m to the nearest convenience store and about 1.1 km to a supermarket.

The building is a two-story wooden (post-and-beam) 5DK house with 60.03 m² of floor area, built in November 1959 (66 years old). The land is freehold, and there is no parking. It is currently vacant with no rent set, so the listing gives the yield as undetermined. The remarks state explicitly that the house can be rebuilt. ⚠️ Part of the building (an extension) is unregistered, the sale is on an as-is basis with current conditions taking precedence, and the listing notes that additional conditions may apply.

⚠️ This is a flag-shaped lot with 2 m of frontage on a road to the west. The Kenbiya listing's road access field says only "位置指定無" (not a designated road) and gives no width; another listing for the same property states "west, 4 m wide (frontage 2 m)". A 2 m frontage is exactly the minimum required under the Building Standards Act, and the listing does not say whether the road is public or private. The assessment uses 59.71 m²: the listed 84.71 m² minus a 5 m² private-road share (stated in the other listing) and about 20 m² for the pole section (the passage-like strip from the road to the house). Because the private-road share is given neither as a fraction nor with an explicit note that it is included, we deducted it as part of the listed area. If it is a separate parcel not included in the 84.71 m², only the pole is deducted and the assessment comes to about 99.6%. The pole area is our estimate from the photos (about 2 m wide by 10 m deep); the exact dimensions are not in the listing.

We used the FY2026 (Reiwa 8) route price of 120,000 yen/m². In Tamako-cho 4-chome the block roads at 120,000 and 125,000 yen/m² appear in almost equal numbers, so we took the lower value as representative; the cul-de-sac the lot fronts is also 120,000 yen/m² and has been flat since 2024 (at 125,000 yen/m² the assessment would be about 95.7%). The house is 66 years old and past the statutory useful life for wooden buildings, so its assessed value is zero; the assessment of about 91.9% is land only, and in effect this is a land-value property. We checked 3 photos on Kenbiya and 5 site photos from another listing for the same property: the house, garden and pole passage are all level, with no stairs between the lot and the road. ⚠️ The east (rear) and north boundaries of the building do not appear in the photos, so the presence of retaining walls or level differences there has not been confirmed.
