Rich with character and less than a block to the coastline, with a peek-a-boo ocean view, is this three-bedroom, one-bathroom single-family historic home that showcases distinctive features of its era and offers great potential to be transformed into an exceptional residence. Homes of this time period were designed to maximize natural cross-ventilation with an abundance of windows. Notable features include wood plank 9’ ceilings, newly refinished wood floors in some rooms, interior handrails, tin roof, deep overhangs, lava rock columns on the front lana’i, and a post and pier foundation. Original built-ins include a bay window seat, hutch in kitchen, and living room cabinet nook. In the rear of the home off the kitchen is a screened-in lana’i with wood flooring. Modern updates include a Rinnai tankless water heater and a Honda gas generator. The second structure is an unpermitted additional room measuring approximately 200 sq. ft. (not included in square footage) with a bathtub. The third structure is an unpermitted 2-car garage with an attached utility room (not included in square footage) housing the washer, dryer, generator, and toilet. There have been some upgrades and repairs (request list), with more renovations and repairs still needed. The post, piers and beams appear to be in satisfactory condition.
