Description

This may just be the perfect project home. To start with, this permitted home is located in Hawaii's Leilani Estates at the end of the street at the very edge of the subdivision. The neighborhood has some unique qualities: well maintained and nicely paved roads, and at-home mail delivery with grid power; all too rare in the Puna District. This is raw Hawaii at its finest: one acre of tropical beauty, including fruit trees (mango, avocado, guava, oranges, ulu (breadfruit), mountain apple, and more) and decorative tropical vegetation (puakenikeni, anthuriums, gardenia, malaysian orchid, ohia, palms, bird of paradise, and more) within a large grassy yard that is surrounded by hand-built lava rock walls. The neighborhood is easy to access from the Pahoa-Kalapana Road, also known as Hwy 130. The area offers a collection of beaches, parks, shopping centers, restaurants, cafes, urgent care, and government services. Hilo with its international airport, university, and major conveniences is close and easy to get to. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is only a little further away for hiking, golf, and wildlife. But the real hidden gem is the house itself. Although modest from the exterior, the original structure was built with open beam ceilings, warm wood walls, lots of natural light, and cooling cross ventilation. One bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen, open living area, a dining room, and an additional den/office/hobby space that could even be used as a guest room make up the original portion of the home. The generous addition was built with the same warm wood walls, drywall ceilings, and an abundance of natural light that house the primary suite and the large additional living space. Just bring your appliances, the home is completely liveable and workable. Over time or before you move in, some new finishes, flooring, and cabinets could make for a spectacular home. It's your choice when, how, and when it gets done. Make the choice, live your dream... here.
