Picture perfect plantation home given new life, with surprising ocean views- the best value in Hilo! The location is fantastic in the heart of Papaikou town; just a short walk to the credit union, school, post office, Hawaii Plantation Museum, AND one of the few black sand beaches and surf spot: Mill Beach! Mill beach can only be accessed via pedestrian trail, so it is uniquely uncrowded. The Onomea Scenic route is just down the street; a gateway to miles of off highway pursuits all the way to Honomu! This classic plantation home has been lovingly restored with new SmartSide and fiber cement siding, vinyl dual pane low E windows, R30 insulation in the attic, flooring, fixtures and a full compliment of stainless steel appliances; blending yesterday's charm with today's modern conveniences. The main living area has a vaulted open beam ceiling with double doors connecting it to the front bedroom or den. The kitchen is fresh with sparkling quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash and brand new cabinetry! The home is nicely elevated to capture peak-a-boo ocean views from the front covered lanai. Gentle trade winds whisper through the windows. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms with a full bathroom. Downstairs there is a bonus 4th bedroom- perfect for an office, yoga, playroom, or guest space. There is a good-sized storage space under the house with an entry to the laundry room and custom tiled walk-in shower; perfect for your after-beach rinse! The backyard has everything you need with a cedar privacy fence & hedge, mature citrus trees and a sweet water feature made from antique plantation era fire bricks- let your imagination do the rest. Enjoy all the Hamakua Coast allure with the convenience of a 7 minute drive to historic Downtown Hilo. There is no guesswork here: a pre-inspection performed by Bierman Home Inspection Inc. & transferable fumigation warranty provided. The property was staked with boundary markers visible. Listor is owner. Open House 2/1 & 2/2 10a-1p.
