Property Description
Vintage sugar-plantation style home w/ Japanese influence, beautifully preserved & maintained. This spacious 4-bed, 2-bath residence is a rare find—offering old Hawai‘i charm & thoughtful touches throughout.
The main level features hardwood floors, 9ft ceilings, & stately crown molding. A front parlor w/ shojji sliding doors opens to the living area, while the kitchen & dining space invite gatherings w/ classic built-ins, ample cabinetry, & lots of character. On this main level (upstairs), 3 nicely sized bedrooms share a full bath w/ tub.
The tea room, accessible from the back door through the kitchen, is a standout—entirely & newly rebuilt custom rice-paper windows framed in hardwood slide open to reveal panoramic ocean views reaching towards Laupāhoehoe Point Beach Park. A sweet space to kick back & enjoy.
The lower level is a hidden gem, featuring a finished, air-conditioned basement w/ warm wood accents, built-in desks, & inviting lighting. It includes a small 4th room (currently used as a craft room), a spacious tiled bathroom w/ walk-in shower, & a nice laundry area with sink, counters, & room for an additional full-size refrigerator. This space has a separate entrance, could be used separate from the main level, & also provides access to a compact garage, plus a large secure storage room.
The owners recently replaced the older windows – so in place are 22 new Milgard windows, many crank-style to allow airflow even in wind/rain. Additional features include a solar hot water system that was recently serviced. Outside, beautiful tropical landscaping adds beauty & color.
Located in the welcoming community of Laupāhoehoe, just 30 minutes from Hilo or 20 minutes from Honoka‘a, this property combines space, function, and charm in one of Hawai‘i Island's most scenic coastal settings.
For the right offer, the home can be sold furnished, or furnishings can be purchased separately.
