ENTRY DETAILS: This Chalet-style Vacation home is located in the 2-4-2 Wakamabori -lot in Mt. Komorebi. Although it's not located right on the mountain area, this is a lovely and serene place surrounded by beautiful nature - here the Yukimuras can enjoy wonderful views and the mountains can be seen from here as well. This beautiful area offers many things to do, such as walking trails in the gardens and a swimming spot near the waterfall.
Special Note: To show what it would look like if this were located in the snowy neighborhood of Mt. Komorebi, I temporarily placed the home to the 5-1-1 Kiyomatsu -lot, so there are a few pictures included in the Slideshow, showing these snowy pictures.
The first floor of the home features open plan living space: kitchen, dining area and living room. There is also a half bath. On the covered terrace is the outdoor entertainment space: there is an outdoor kitchen area with a grill, a sitting area with an outdoor fireplace, and a dining area with a globe bar. The first floor also has the separate rental unit which was requested: it is attached to the house, but it also has its own entrance and a small porch. There is also a door from the rental unit leading to the main living quarters: to the main living room (that door can be locked, if wanted). The rental unit has its own living space: living room, small kitchen & dining area, and a bedroom with an en suite bathroom.
The second floor has two bedrooms with private balconies: Mr. & Mrs. Yukimura's suite: the Master bedroom & en suite bathroom; and a guest suite: guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The second floor also has a cozy lounge area. Additionally, there is a small balcony, where is the telescope that Mrs. Yukimura requested. There she can enjoy observing the sky and the stars. The yard areas are quite small, but the covered terrace and balconies also offer more outdoor space; and since - according to their words - the Yukimuras are really active and like to go out in nature and enjoy various outdoor activities, I thought that these outdoor spaces would probably be enough for them. Located on the left side of the property, is also that separate storage space which was requested.
