LITTLE OLD WIDOW LADY COULDN’T KEEP UP . . . with repairs and upkeep on this basically sound, zero curb appeal house. It looks awful from the outside, that’s because the fixups she already did are on the inside. LOWL has a reputable estimate that a handy new owner could bring this place back to looking sharp for between $25,000 and $30,000, with their own work! LOWL couldn’t handle all the outdoor maintenance, so buyers have to have the—dare I say it?—intelligence and creative thinking—to get inside and realize that most of the heavy lifting has been done inside and purchasing this house is a super deal. NEWS FLASH—The Discovery Harbour Golf Course has recently been sold and the new owners have big plans for rehabbing the course originally designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Rees Jones, TRJ, Sr.’s son is committed to the new owners’ team to design the remodel of the course. Plans include provisions to add a spa and wellness facility, lodge, and retail shops to the current Discovery Harbour facility. This is the time to invest in Discovery Harbour while the prices are still low, interest rates are still low, and first-time homebuyers qualify for an $8,000 tax credit on the purchase! THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY— First, the GOOD: Good location: in Discovery Harbour, a full service subdivision with electric and telephone service, cable television and Internet, wireless Internet availability, county water, street lights, county paved and maintained roads, fire hydrants, an active neighborhood watch program, on-site volunteer fire department, active Community Association, CC&Rs to protect your investment, and a safe and laid-back ambiance; near the Volunteer Fire Department, Community Association building, and the golf course clubhouse; in a superb climate, where the vog is less, the skies are clearer, with temperatures that are not too hot and not too cold, not too humid and not too dry, with a pleasant 40 to 60 inches of rainfall a year falling mostly at night; about twelve miles from South Point, the southernmost point of the US and the area where it is believed the original Polynesians landed on our islands, in the District of Kau on the Big Island of Hawaii, a rural “old Hawaii” destination area; centered around an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones, Sr., designed golf course, fifteen minutes drive to the oceanside Punaluu golf course and black sand beach, and forty-five minutes drive to the Volcano Golf and Country Club. Good size: 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, which includes a separate guest house with its own full bath; with 1,490 square feet of interior living area, a large deck under roof, and a 552 square foot carport which could easily be converted to an enclosed garage, 14,000 square foot relatively level lot. Good improvements started: all bathroom fixtures, including toilets, vanity sink tops, medicine cabinets and mirrors, and faucetry recently replaced; kitchen sink, garbage disposal, and faucet recently replaced; newish Amana glass topped range, newish Maytag refrigerator, and newish Maytag Atlantis washer and dryer; faux bois oak flooring installed in living room, hallway, and 3 bedrooms; mirrored closet doors, newish French door entry and newish slider entry, newish interior doors. Good basic features: cathedral ceilings in living area; great room design for living room and kitchen; ceramic tile floors in the kitchen, bathrooms, and part of the guest house; indoor laundry facilities; lighted ceiling fans in all rooms. Next, the BAD: the deck should be replaced, composite decking such as Trex or ChoiceDek would be a good replacement; termites have been munching on some of the wood siding, that needs to be replaced; the roof has a leak in the master bedroom—the current owner has lived in this house since 1991 and the leak has been there since Day 1, it’s been repaired four times and has come back every time we have a huge rainstorm; the replacement oak flooring hasn’t been finished in two closets and the guest house, but the flooring material is included, so that’s good. the metal roof is the original and it needs to be replaced (that will probably get rid of that leak for good). And that brings us to the UGLY: the yard has no landscaping—grass, but no landscaping, think of it as a blank canvas for the buyers’ green thumb artistry; the exterior and interior need repainting, so the buyers can pick their own colors; the window screens have holes and tears, they need to be replaced; the kitchen cupboards and countertops have seen better days—the cupboards could be refinished, but it would be better to replace it all; there’s an old 12-foot diameter satellite dish that could be removed and converted to an outdoor shade umbrella and wind chime tower. This is a great fixer opportunity property!
