Running this house is real estate firm Plenty Plans. The company currently manages four properties in the Golden House series, including Golden House Midoribashi. Their houses are popular with their great designs and convenient locations. One of their houses,
Golden House Sanadayama Park, is located near a park that takes its name from Sanada Maru, a famous fortification attached to Osaka castle that is the subject of a current Japanese historical drama. Golden House Midoribashi is also a newly-constructed house that provides a safe, comfortable environment for women. We were lucky enough to meet the owner of the house, who is an Osaka man through and through and very easy to talk to. He loves Osaka greatly and that’s why he is in the know about the best places to live in the city. What a wonderful thing it is to be able to do what do love in the place you love.
This sharehouse in particular may be new, but a house made with such love like this one will surely come to be just as loved by its residents.
