Handsomely updated 2 story plantation era home with outstanding ocean views sits on almost a half an acre. Upper level includes main living area with front door access as well as glass slider that leads from the dining area to a lovely back lanai. Two bedrooms share the hall bath. Spacious kitchen with eating area has access from a protected stairwell that leads down to the carport. An added bonus at this 550-foot elevation are the prevailing winds out of the east, that keeps most of the upper level cool most days.

Lower level has a 3rd bedroom, large storage/bonus room, plantation era shower room with private toilet and laundry area.

The yard is thoughtfully landscaped, with fruit trees that include banana, papaya, sour sap, white pineapple, chico, calamansi, abiu, lemon drop mangosteen, jack fruit, and a lichee tree. Flowering plants include bird of paradise, gardenia, hibiscus, rose, amaryllis, camelia, orchid, anthurium, ti plants and more.

This special home has close proximity to all that Laupahoehoe town has to offer including accessibility to the magical Laupahoehoe Beach Park, the Historic Papalaoa Store Café, Restaurant and County Gym/Park. Kindergarten through 12th grade is offered at Laupahoehoe Public School, a County Pool and transfer station as well as all the History one can find at the Laupahoehoe Train Station.

Hilo town is about a half an hour away and the famous Kohala Coast Beaches are a nice hour and fifteen-minute country drive via HWY 19 through Honokaa, Parker Ranch and Waimea Town.
