[Assessed 93.5%] Detached house in Kawagoe, Saitama — 20 min from Matoba Sta.

This is a pre-owned detached house in Isehara-cho 4-chome, Kawagoe, Saitama. The nearest station is Matoba on the JR Kawagoe Line, a 20-minute walk; Kasumigaseki Station (Tobu Tojo Line) is 27 minutes and Tsurugashima Station 29 minutes on foot, and by bus it is an 11-minute ride to the Oisebashi stop and then a 4-minute walk. The house is in the Isehara New Town subdivision, on a corner lot facing 6.0 m public roads on two sides (southwest and northwest). The zoning is Category 1 low-rise exclusive residential (building coverage 60%, floor area ratio 100%), and the terrain is listed as flat. According to the listing, OK Mart is 300 m away, Starbucks Coffee Kawagoe Isehara 360 m, Yaoko Kawagoe Matoba 800 m, Oisezuka Park 250 m and Kasumigaseki-kita Elementary School 480 m. McDonald's (about 150 m) and Gyoza no Manshu Kawagoe Matoba (about 550 m) are straight-line distances from the representative point of Isehara-cho 4-chome (GSI address search coordinates) (OpenStreetMap).

The price is 29 million yen. The land is 227.92 m² (registered area, freehold) and the building is a two-storey wooden house built by Ida Technos in December 1994 (31 years old) with a total floor area of 209.98 m². The 8LDK layout has four Japanese-style rooms, four Western-style rooms and a 21-tatami LDK, plus a sauna and shower room, two toilets, a walk-in closet, a wide balcony and an engawa veranda. There is side-by-side parking for two cars under a carport and a garden of more than 10 tsubo. Utilities are public water, sewerage and city gas. The house is currently vacant, and the handover date is negotiable.

The assessed ratio is about 86.5%. Because the building has passed the 22-year statutory useful life for wooden structures, it is valued at zero and only the land is assessed. We used 110,000 yen/m² (FY2026, leasehold ratio D), the value on the internal streets of Isehara-cho 4-chome, as the representative route price. The same route was 105,000 yen/m² in both 2024 and 2025 and rose by about 4.8% in 2026. Using the 115,000 yen/m² of the surrounding arterial roads such as Oisebashi-dori gives about 90.4%, and using the earlier level of 105,000 yen/m² gives about 82.5%.

In the listing photos, the parking area is level with the front road and there is only one step (about 0.15 m) at the entrance. ⚠️ On the northwest side, a split-face block wall retains the soil of a hedge planting strip; the retained height is about 0.6–0.8 m (about 0.9 m even allowing for a miscount of block courses). ⚠️ The northeast and southeast boundaries with the neighbouring lots do not appear in the photos. The GSI 5 m elevation grid (DEM5A) shows relief within 0.9 m around each block of 4-chome and no terrain suggesting a large step, but the presence and height of walls or retaining walls need to be checked on site. The street number is not disclosed. As this is a 31-year-old wooden house that is currently vacant, its condition and repair history need to be confirmed with the agent.
