Experience luxurious living in Kobe's prestigious Kitano district, where historic foreign residences tell stories of the city's international heritage. This exceptional 3LDK corner unit at Famille Gran Kobe Kitano offers an rare blend of contemporary elegance and nostalgic charm in one of Kobe's most sought-after neighborhoods.
Built in 2003 by renowned developer Marubeni Corporation and constructed by Taisei Corporation, this boutique residence of only 19 units provides an intimate, exclusive living environment. The southeast-facing corner position floods the spacious 28.1-mat living-dining area with natural light from dual exposures, while premium wide-plank flooring and underfloor heating create a sophisticated atmosphere perfect for both relaxation and entertaining.
The property has been completely renovated with meticulous attention to detail and quality. The custom L-shaped Tanaka Kogei kitchen features generous counter space, integrated dishwasher, and a convenient disposer system. All three bedrooms exceed 6 mats in size, with the master bedroom offering direct access to the vanity area in a hotel-like configuration. Throughout the residence, functional closets and storage solutions ensure a clutter-free lifestyle.
Premium TOTO fixtures grace the bathroom and toilet areas, including a new tankless toilet with integrated bidet, a spacious 1620-size bathtub with drying function, and an elegant vanity with touch-free lighting. The expansive southeast-facing balcony provides unobstructed views of Kobe's cityscape and the exotic Kitano district, with convenient utility sink for maintenance.
Located at the intersection of Ijinkan-dori (Foreign Residence Street) and Tor Road, the building's elegant tiled exterior harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding historic architecture. Three stations on three different lines provide exceptional transportation convenience - JR Sannomiya (15 min walk), Subway Sannomiya (11 min), and Hankyu Kobe-Sannomiya (14 min) - placing downtown Kobe and beyond within easy reach.
With professional management by Mitsubishi Jisho Community, recent upgrades including LED lighting (2023), intercom systems (2022), and comprehensive building renovation (2020), this residence represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Kobe's international heritage while enjoying modern luxury and convenience.
