Walk back in time across a covered lanai into this preserved 1938 Plantation Manager’s home. A Dutch door opens into original plantation charm introduced by brilliant bay widows, 10’10" ceilings & hard wood floors. Throughout the house, double-hung windows bring in sunshine & cool breezes, plus the living area of the house is traditionally raised above ground, to capture cooling trade winds. Beyond the living & dining room areas is a unique, historic Butler’s Pantry with built-in glass & regular cabinets, shelves & large countertop. One door leads to the large kitchen: 22 cabinets, 11 drawers, over 20’ of countertop, pantry, back door & double windows over a double sink. Another leads to what could be a bedroom, office, or recreation room. All 3 bedrooms have 2 large closets in each & one has a 1/2 bath, too. Hall bathroom has a tub & separate walk in shower. An additional toilet & utility sink are in the 420sf, unfinished area under the house. The circular floor plan makes this house feel like it is MUCH BIGGER than 1514sf !!! Up the private paved driveway, there is a separate, double garage & workshop. A big greenhouse is waiting for your tender loving care. Around the house is a low-maintenance, bright green lawn with easy-to-care for mature plants. Papaikou is a prime location, with County water & sewer systems. It’s a quaint, multi-cultural, multi-generation historical area 10 miles or less from the historic Downtown Hilo Area, airport, schools, university, hospital, medical offices, Astronomy Offices, shopping & farmers’ market, big-box stores, churches, banks, restaurants, parks & beaches. Papaikou is also part of the historical & scenic Hamakua Heritage Corridor with waterfalls, gulches, shops, museums & whale watching. Walk to K-9 school, Plantation Museum, credit union, post office, beach and transfer station! 3D Tour: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=Mz8xJdyUyoi
