This ideally located Kealakekua home sits just minutes from downtown Kona. The fully fenced and gated property boasts a large yard with plenty of room to garden, play, or simply enjoy the warm Hawaii sunshine. The home has an open floor plan with soaring vaulted ceilings. An oversized living room opens to a roomy kitchen with an abundance of wooden cabinets and newer appliances. The large covered lanai, with peek-a-boo ocean views and cooling breezes, spans the entire width of the home and is accessed from both the living and dining rooms via sliding doors. A spacious, romantic master suite has a big walk-in closet and full bath with glass-front pocket door. Two additional bedrooms sit across from the master and share a full bath. The roomy carport easily allows for two cars and the attached laundry room has access to the home via back staircase. This inviting home has been recently updated with new carpet and interior paint. The house has a photovoltaic system (leased) that helps keep electricity costs down. It sits towards the end of a short street and less than a mile to Clarence Lum Won Park, the by-pass road to Keauhou and Mamalahoa Hwy.
