If I were looking for the perfect place to write the great American novel this is where I would go. Located at the end of a quiet country road this darling home sits in the middle of 1 acre of neatly mowed lawn with four giant Koa trees off to one side. The property is completely fenced, gated and bordered by State forest for extra privacy. Legend has it that around 1925 the sugar plantation built several homes in Olinda as summer retreats for their employees. Later they were sold and this one has been lovingly cared for and upgraded by the current owner since 1973. 1-bedroom, 1-bath plus office/reading room, living room, high vaulted ceilings, wood flooring, a cedar-lined walk-in closet, walk-in pantry and wrap around deck………PLUS……. a detached 480 sf garage with extra-large laundry & storage room with built-ins (there is A LOT of storage here!). Some of the upgrades include a completely remodeled bathroom, new windows, upgraded electric and more. There is also a garden plot waiting to be planted. Close to Waihou Springs forest with all of its walking and hiking trails. This is the ultimate retreat. There is a County water meter servicing this property. Showings by appointment only.
