Garden Suginami Honan 201

At ¥258,000 a month plus ¥15,000 management fee, Garden Suginami Honan offers 74.13 m² near two stations: an eight-minute walk to Sasazuka and ten minutes to Honancho. The 2LDK is a corner dwelling in a fire-resistant building, with south-facing aspect, auto-lock entry, elevator, surveillance cameras and a delivery box. No key money is listed; the deposit is one month.

The plan places a 15.9-tatami living-dining area at the centre, opening to the balcony, with a 5.6-tatami room beside it and a separate 7.8-tatami room at the opposite end. The kitchen sits between the living area and the compact hall, which links the bedrooms, independent washroom, bath and separate toilet. This gives the rooms some separation, though the smaller bedroom is modest and the circulation space takes a noticeable share of the floor area.

The interior has pale flooring and walls, with broad glazing from the living-dining room to the balcony. The system kitchen has a gas hob with three or more burners and a dishwasher; other listed features include air conditioning, indoor laundry, a shower-equipped vanity, bathroom dryer, reheating function and warm-water bidet toilet.

The building has a landscaped approach and a contemporary, block-style facade. Sasazuka and Honancho provide two route options, but the monthly outlay is substantial; compare it with similarly sized homes nearby before deciding whether the layout and station access justify the price.
