Set on nearly half an acre in the heart of Kapa‘a, on Kaua'i's east side, 4885 Laipo Road offers a rare combination of classic island character, over 2,000 sf of living space, generous outdoor space, and thoughtful updates—all just minutes from Kealia Beach, the coastal bike path, and Kapa‘a town.
Mature gardens, stone walls, and a peaceful gazebo create a private tropical setting with ample room to garden, gather, play, or simply enjoy the outdoors. The single-level, mostly furnished home features three bedrooms and a bright, open floor plan designed for easy indoor-outdoor living. The dining area with bar seating opens to a lanai, while the spacious living room connects to a covered lanai and large front patio, providing multiple spaces for entertaining and relaxing.
The updated kitchen features new cabinetry and quartz countertops, along with a newer refrigerator and range. Additional improvements include new windows in the kitchen and dining area, a new living room sliding door, laminate flooring in the rear hallway, photovoltaic solar panels, and newer furnishings.
An attached garage adds even more versatility, with a finished room and bathroom above, plus its own covered lanai—well suited for a home office, studio, guest space, or other flexible use. Generous storage throughout adds everyday functionality.
With approximately 20,000 square feet of land, established landscaping—including multiple fruit trees—additional flexible space, and a convenient East Kaua‘i location, 4885 Laipo Road captures the relaxed character of island living while offering room to create, grow, and make it your own.
