Selling or Buying in Kurtistown?
Description
Tucked away just off Highway 11 in Keaau, this gem from yesteryear is waiting to be discovered by that special buyer looking for a bit of privacy, has an appreciation for older homes with lots of character, yet still wants to be in a convenient location with access to overhead electricity and county water.
Located less than 2 minutes from Keaau town and 1 minute from the Kamehameha schools Keaau campus, this architecturally designed home has been well cared for and although a bit dated, has solid bones and updated electrical and plumbing.
On the main level, you will appreciate the ample sized rooms (which would have been considered oversize back when the home was built) the free flowing floor plan along with the smart placement of windows allowing the natural light in. Little touches like rounded walls and built-ins only add to the charm.
Downstairs offers an additional 755 sf. of space that will have you imagining all kinds of uses and possibilities!
The main home is located on a 19,384 sqft. lot which once was a fully landscaped featuring an assortment of tropical flora and fruit trees which is just waiting to be restored. If all this sounds to good to be true, just wait, it gets even better!
Price also includes the adjacent 19,384 sqft lot!

Both properties have already been surveyed, a copy of survey and report will be provided during Buyer's J-1
