Description

Beautiful two-bedroom home, plus a huge garden-level separate living space with private entrance! Located within Kona Palisades on a manicured 11,487 sq ft lot, this two-story home has been steadily improved by owners who clearly love it. Peek-a-boo ocean horizon and sunset views, mature tropical landscaping, and two separate living areas make it a rare value in North Kona. The main level is bright and open, with a remodeled kitchen, a large island, stainless-steel appliances, and dining that flows to a covered front lanai. The upstairs living room & kitchen are cooled by a new Daikin split system. *Electric panel has been upgraded ot accomodate expansion of the AC system if desired. Below, the remodeled ohana-style living space has its own garden-level entrance (no stairs), bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and full-size front-load washer and dryer. Ideal for extended family, visiting guests, or a quiet work-from-home setup. The grounds are the surprise. A large deck and pergola invite long afternoons outside, surrounded by level lawn, dry-stack rock walls, rock planters, raised garden beds, a garden shed, and a fully fenced yard with a gate and an arbor. Fruit trees include banana, breadfruit, abiu, finger lime, Meyer lemon, mountain apple, mango, and lychee, with panax, heliconia, hibiscus, and areca palms creating privacy front and rear. Numerous recent updates & improvements. Pride of ownership shows throughout. Set in lower Kona Palisades, the location is hard to beat for daily convenience. Kona International Airport, Costco, Kailua Village dining, and Kohala Coast beaches are all a short drive, with quick access to Queen Kaahumanu Highway by way of Kaiminani Drive. Few Kailua-Kona homes at this price offer this much finished living space, this level of improvement, and grounds this established.
