Rarely do you find a home that has been lovingly maintained for nearly 60 years. Originally constructed in 1969, this Pepeekeo timepiece still has its original charm, and has been updated with modern conveniences. When built, the home was carefully positioned on a flag lot tucked away from the road to take advantage of cooling trade winds and allow for peekaboo ocean views. Inside you will find three bedrooms and a full bath, along with a generously sized living room with huge windows and a tastefully updated kitchen. In the carport, there is a half bath, complete with the original concrete laundry sink of the era, modern washer, and a walk-in tile shower, perfect for rinsing off after surfing at near-by Honoli’i Beach Park. If you aren’t in the mood for surfing, a quick drive takes you to Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, or breathtaking Onomea Bay Trail, one of the few places where a short hike takes you through dense jungle to waterfalls, sea arches, and turquoise ocean coves. Back at the home, the yard has large established citrus trees including two Ka'u orange, two tangerine, and a lemon that have been meticulously pruned and maintained over the years to maximize production. As an added bonus, the owners have fully updated the electrical and plumbing, and replaced the original canec ceiling with modern drywall. An affordable home in this area that has been so lovingly cared for and carefully updated is an extremely rare find.
