You need only to peer in from the front of the long paved driveway to get an idea of just how special this lush Hawaiian Paradise Park home is. Surrounded by botanical gardens and fruit trees, this spacious three-bedroom, two bath permitted house with attached covered lanai sits on a fenced acre that shouts, “East Hawaii tropical living!” Among the shade trees you will find avocado, lychee, breadfruit, jackfruit, mango, starfruit, mountain apple, both Brazilian and surinam cherry, abiu and ambarella. The backyard also features a former greenhouse/herb garden bed and two composting bins, plus small former duck pond and roaming/ roosting area. In the front yard, you’ll see mature palm trees, Cook pines, and a variety of flowering plants. And that is all before you step indoors… The main single-level home has an inviting, split bedroom floor plan that provides separation between the primary suite and two other bedrooms. At the center of the home is a spacious kitchen that connects comfortably with a counter and dining area, which lead toward the backyard lanai, an entertainer’s delight. The dining area also boasts an impressive feature wall custom made from repurposed wood. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet with plenty of hanging area and custom-made dresser drawers. The adjoining private bathroom has a shower, counter cabinet and additional shelving for extra storage. On the opposite side of the home are two additional bedrooms and second full bathroom with a bathtub. The attached two-car garage features a washer and dryer with ample workshop space, as well as a loft-style storage area. In addition, the property has a permitted shed, with an unpermitted cottage adjoining it. Buyers and their agents are encouraged to investigate the structures' permits, uses and Hawaii County requirements during their due diligence period. It is not often that a property comes along in this price range with so many charms & features.
