27-286A Mill Rd, Papaikou, HI 96781

Prime address, classic styling, contemporary interior! Minutes to Hilo and a short walk to the beach, the completely rebuilt upstairs has the look and feel of new construction while retaining the popular styling of yesteryear! Enter to find vaulted ceilings that add a sense of volume, creating an open, airy, and inviting living area. Central to this space is an open concept kitchen with Corian counters and newer appliances. The glass tile backsplash adds a touch of sophistication and serves as an eye-catching focal point. Originally configured as 3 bedrooms, the middle bedroom has been configured as a "flex" space that makes a perfect office or dining space. With 2 closets, creating an office nook would be a cinch! The rear master is large enough to accommodate a king size bed. The remodeled bath is just across the hall. Out the rear door is a a large party-sized lanai with pleasant ocean views and constant breezes. The lanai overlooks the fenced and fully landscaped yard. This flexible space is the perfect spot for morning coffee or relaxing with your favorite novel. Down the rear stairs, another pleasant sitting area has been created to provide a shady respite. The lower level area is fully enclosed and provides space for multiple uses. The original bath in this space has been remodeled to a spa-quality oversized shower. The laundry is also located in this space. Not up to making morning coffee? Just grab a cup from the newly remodeled and fully stocked county store on the way to your morning beach walk! It's an irresistible opportunity to enjoy the best of the best in Hawaiian-style living! (Tax office shows 748 but field book lists 1616 sf of living area which includes lower level).
