If you enjoy unique architecture, both inside & out, this home may be just what you're looking for. If you like the idea of being within a mile of the largest shopping district in town, this home could be what you're looking for. If you have kids & would appreciate their school being, almost literally, at the end of your street, this could be home. For Costco runs & beaches, the road to Kona is a convenient left turn, again, right down the street. If you enjoy observing the myriad, vibrant colors of the morning sun & the evening sky, viewing the drama of showers from enormous clouds passing above a distant ocean & the frequent fragrance of blooming flowers, all from your lanai, this could be your home.<br><br>The front entry is tiled as well as the primary bath area & kitchen. Living & office areas have premium hand scraped, engineered Acacia Koa flooring. Primary bedroom has sculptured Mohawk Heirloom stain resistant loop pile Berber. Upstairs bedrooms & bathroom floors are waterproof laminate & the landing is tiled.<br><br>Because the second-floor loft, with its two oversize bedrooms & full bath, overlooks the 1st floor, the sense of the home seems larger than its 1555 square feet. From the 1st floor, the soaring beams & high windows provide the same sense of space.<br><br>The office area features nearly 9-foot-tall bookcases with a rich pecan finish, adjustable shelves & decorative, dimmable lighting.<br><br>The horizontal (top of the house) roofing was given three coats of Sherwin-Williams metal roof paint last September as well as the carport roofing. The front facing vertical roofing on the house was replaced in the same time frame.<br><br>The home has leased (transferable) solar panels & the electric bills average $150 per month.<br><br>This third of an acre with its overgrown grasses, ferns & large trees reflect some of what the owners first fell in love with in the Hawaiian Islands. With a little vision, it could be converted into your own bit of paradise.
