Great opportunity for a starter home on the island of Molokai! Located on a quiet cul-de-sac approximately 5 miles from Kaunakakai town, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers convenience, functionality, and plenty of potential. The kitchen has been updated, while still providing an opportunity for a new owner to add their own finishing touches and personal style. The updated bathroom features tile finishes and granite countertops. A durable metal roof adds to the home's practical appeal, while the cul-de-sac location provides additional space for parking, including room for a boat or extra vehicles. With a little cosmetic love, this property could be a wonderful place to call home or a great opportunity for a buyer looking to build equity on Molokai.

About Molokai Section
4
Molokai Section 4, located between Kaunakakai Harbor and One Alii Park, is a coastal and residential Kaunakakai neighborhood with low-slung plantation-era homes and broad ocean-facing skies. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Ala Malama Avenue near Kaunakakai Wharf, where harbor activity, small storefronts, and shoreline views set an unhurried rhythm. Paddlers and spectators gather around Molokai Canoe Club, while Kaunakakai Harbor anchors daily boat traffic and sunset walks. Streets read as practical and local, with modest yards, palms, and trade-wind breezeways. The shoreline edge frames morning light over the channel and a steady soundtrack of masts and surf.
