Property Description

Cash Only! Built in 1962 this home is a classic single wall redwood original Hicks home, with approximately 1,890 sq ft of interior living space on a spacious 9,648 square foot lot.   These Hicks homes are true island classics and has withstood the test of time, storms and earthquakes better than many newer homes. Door and window frames are as tight as the day it was built and the home has remained solidly in place on its post and piers. Same owner since 1986. Never a rental. This house is totally livable now but is in need of some love. Large kitchen/dining area with great counter space.  Separate from the living room so you can enjoy family dinners without the TV distracting.  Mostly carpeted but underneath are the original hardwood floors, and one bedroom is uncarpeted so you can see the floor for yourselves. The additional 750 square feet can be storage, party room, work shop, exercise area or even an additional sleeping area. Two large wonderful mango trees currently full of fruit that will be ripe in about three weeks so hurry! Fenced front yard for your pup. Close to Kealakehe schools for your children. Just minutes to town. Quiet neighbors. Perfect elevation. Moderate temperatures, most of the time. Sufficient rain to keep the trees happy but little to no mildew issues.  Like everywhere we have some geckos but not overwhelming like further up the mountain.   Enjoy this home as your second home, primary residence, long-term rental or profitable flip.   Hurry, this beautiful property will not last long.    Let's talk.
