This 1938 plantation home has been thoughtfully restored & fully remodeled over the last 2.5 years to respect its charm and place in history, while being updated for modern living. It features open concept living, 3 bed, 2 bath & 1/2 bath in laundry/ basement. Upgrades include updated electrical, plumbing, appliances, hot water heater, cabinets, counter, vanities, flooring (all 2019 & newer) & paint (2021). The kitchen has quartz countertops, tile back splash, stainless-steel appliances, farmhouse sink, gas range & vent hood. Ocean views can be found in the living/dining area, master bedroom & lanai. The master bath has been fully upgraded with a tile walk-in shower, double sink vanity with marble countertop & large soaking tub. The second bath also has a vanity with marble countertop and a bathtub/shower combination with matching tile. There is ample storage with a classic camp home basement that is roughly 300 sqft, combined with the detached, oversized double car garage & carport attached to the house connected to the basement. The home sits on nearly 1 acre with a mature macadamia nut orchard, 33 coffee, 3 papaya, 2 orange and a pineapple patch. The lot is zoned RS-15, requiring 15,000 sq ft lot per lot, so one could subdivide & sell the back lot or build their dream home on it and rent out the one in the front (permitting and planning involved- buyer to conduct their own due diligence). Situated on the lush Hamakua Coast. However, often when it's raining in Hilo or Waimea it's sunny in Laupahoehoe. The Laupahoehoe Point County Park is about a mile away where the keiki can jump off the boat launch or wade in the tide pools, cook out, camp, picnic, fish, play sports & just enjoy Hawaii life. The Ka'awali'i stream waterfall hike is about a 5 min drive away & short 15 min hike. You are in walking distance to the Post Office, fire and police departments, school, & community swimming pool. The Papa’aloa Store & Café is less than a mile away. Lava Zone 8.
