257 Molo St, Kapaa, HI 96746
What's special
Wake up to gorgeous Wailua Homesteads sunrises from your own private lanai, coffee in hand, birdsong in the trees, and room to spread out across three distinct living spaces. Facing due east, this home catches warm morning sun, afternoon shade, and cool breezes all year. A private stairwell leads up to the main level: a comfortable 2BR/1BA home with its own front lanai for morning coffee and sunrise views. Step out of the primary suite onto a second lanai tucked between the main house and the bonus room above the carport. The upstairs room has its own bathroom and private entrance, ideal for guests, extended family, or a home office. Downstairs, the third bedroom offers its own bathroom and separate access. Three distinct living spaces mean real versatility, room for family or guests, or space to spread out with a central location close to Kapaa and Lihue, in the established Kauai Gardens subdivision. Park with ease under the 4-car carport, with extra storage below the upper deck. Owned solar water heater and a leased Sunrun PV system with Tesla Home Powerwalls (transferable to qualified Buyers) help keep energy costs down. Active Terminix pest control contract in place. Well maintained and thoughtfully added onto over the years on an 8,297 SF lot, minutes from hiking trails, beaches, and Kapaa conveniences.
