This charming plantation style home is built on an unusually large lot, over half an acre of USABLE land, right in Kapaau town. The first thing you notice is the custom rock wall on front border of the property providing beauty as well as privacy.
Enter the long sweeping driveway through the powered gate and park in the large 2 1/2 vehicle carport or drive to the oversized three bay workshop/garage building currently used for storage and workshop. The possibilities for this space are limitless.
The home has old Kohala charisma including original hardwood floors plus some modern improvements including new mini split AC system in the living room, updated lighting and a completely REMODELED BONUS LIVING AREA.
The bonus space now serves as a huge guest room with new ensuite bath, new LPV flooring and a new 10,000 BTU window AC unit, a small kitchenette with sink, microwave, cabinets and counter space. The separate covered entrance expands the many possibilities for use by extended family or as a long term rental.
The guest area is connected to the main house by a pleasant outdoor covered seating area with another bath with shower and laundry area.
The main house has 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, living room and kitchen. A new dishwasher and microwave with exhaust fan were installed within the past year.
Fully owned 18 panel photovoltaic with net metering and solar water heating make this home energy efficient and economical.
The lot feels big and open yet tropical and intimate with state land bordering the back of the parcel. Savor the fruits of lilikoi, banana, lychee, papaya, oranges, limes, white pineapples, ulu, mango, dragon fruit, fig, and apple.
Fragrant plumeria, cherry and other tropicals including soursop, mulberry, and longan have also been planted by the sellers.
All of this is a stone's throw from historic Kapaau town with restaurants, shops,galleries, and Kamehameha Park. Grocery store, library and post office are nearby.
