Aloha and welcome. This beautifully maintained plantation home rests in the quaint and quiet heart of the Hamakua Coast: Laupahoehoe. Upon entering, notice the original hardwood floors and 9-foot ceilings, all reflecting the home’s craftsmanship, charm, and Old Hawaiian influence. The main level features three large bedrooms, a full bath, a sunroom, and a 14-by-18 living room, plus eat-in dining and the updated vintage kitchen. Twenty-two newer Milgard windows showcase natural light and controlled airflow from all sides in every room. Beyond the kitchen, you’ll discover the peaceful Japanese tearoom, complete with authentic rice-paper shoji sliding windows. When opened, take in the panoramic ocean view. You can almost touch it. Downstairs is a finished lower level with its own entrance, a large living area, a fourth room currently used as an office or craft space, a full bathroom with walk-in shower, laundry area, storage room, and a compact garage. This flexible layout is ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a studio, or a home workspace. The property includes tropical landscaping, a solar hot water system, and a convenient location between Hilo and Honokaa, offering both coastal living and easy access to schools, services, and Laupahoehoe Point. If you love vintage charm, ocean views, and a home that feels peaceful and unique, this one is truly worth seeing.
