Built in 2023 by a well respected local contractor who is known for unique finishes and attention to detail, this affordably priced home in popular Hawaiian Paradise Park is packed with custom upgrades. Inside you will find floating cabinets, mango slab bathroom counter tops, and a custom kitchen complete with farmhouse sink, quartz counters, and nearly new stainless steel appliances. Sliding doors take you to the open air back lanai, or out to the expansive screened lanai, the perfect place for entertaining or just taking advantage of Hawaii’s indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite bath with curbless shower, beautiful custom tile, and a floating vanity with mango slab counter, creating a modern tropical feel. The second bedroom is generously sized and has a shared bathroom complete with a bathtub, custom tile, and mango counters. Unlike most newer builds in the area, the property has established grass and landscaping, with a fenced half acre area around the home. The owners have recently planted Meyer lemon, fig, tangerine, banana, rosemary, hibiscus, plumeria, and a variety of palms and other ornamentals. The rest of the acre has no large albizia and is ready for your creativity. The home is a 5 minute drive through the neighborhood to the Shipman/Haena Beach Trailhead. This incredibly beautiful 2.9 mile trail through dense jungle and historic sites leads to one of Puna's only accessible white sand beaches. A dog-lovers delight, the trail and beach are dog-friendly! If you don’t feel like taking a hike, an easy walk from the trailhead takes you along the breathtaking Kaloli Point cliffs where you can enjoy whale watching in the winter months, spotting spinner dolphins in the early morning hours, and incredible East Hawaii sunrises. This unique property is not to be missed!
