Description
Long known as the Telephone House in Kapaau, vintage 1938 plantation home. Proximity next door to telephone company high speed internet/fiber optic hub! It doesn't get any closer than this...lightning fast! This home still has many of its original charming elements. Great old porcelain sink in kitchen, wood windows, built-in storage. Large bonus daylight basement, detached large two car+ garage with storage platform (has been used as music stage, piano in living room included).
This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, with beautiful and private back yard, has been utilized as a successful rental home for many years.
Walking distance to Historic Kapaau town, which has many of the essentials for rural, historic, old Hawaii living. Kohala Hospital, with it recently upgraded emergency facilities, Kohala Civic Center with senior center, fire and police all nearby. Lovely local shops, art galleries, pharmacy, and restaurants. Wonderful Kamehameha Park just out the back yard with ball fields, tennis courts, multiple gyms, active pickle ball program, 9 hole golf, Roots Skate park, all within walking distance. Hiking trails and beaches nearby. This home is surrounded by a large agricultural gulch property and so very private with no neighbors on North and West facing boundaries.
