Back on market due to Buyer emergency cancellation. Don't regret missing out on this home! It's the one most likely to cause buyers to wake up one morning wishing they had made the offer! This second story plantation home was rebuilt from the floor joists up in 2021 (original build 1938 on the lot) -- and it's only gotten better since. It was "new" 2.5 years ago when the current owners bought it, and pride of ownership exudes from this home, with many upgrades and new features. This home has been tastefully furnished, and almost all of it is included in the purchase per terms of an accepted offer. Located on a private cul-de-sac just 8 minutes north of Hilo, the street is quiet, well kept, and walking distance to Papaikou Mill Beach and Kapue Stream with it's gentle waterfalls. This home captures the tropical trade wind breezes, but also has Split A/C for the rare days when breezes calm. Among improvements added by the current owners are fixtures, kitchen upgrades, some appliances, a step-in shower, and screening in of the second story lanai (240 sq ft, with a partial ocean view of Hilo Bay and holiday fireworks in the distance). The yard has been completely fenced for the safety of furry family members, and an electric gate installed. New off-street parking for two (or more) vehicles has been added inside the fence. Landscaping has been improved and new fruit trees are starting to mature. Hot water supplied by H2O roof system. Laundry and storage are secured beneath the home. Included is a Eufy Security home security system. Captions on the photographs tell the broader story of this amazing home. Websites reflecting larger living space square footage are including the front porch, but do not include the spacious living space of the newly screened upstairs lanai. 3D Tour (including 2D floor plan at: https://www.asteroommls.com/pviewer?hideleadgen=1&token=6RfcCAlHB0SLSoJZhFAU1g MLS: 707156
