Let’s start in the kitchen. The owner replaced the original developer countertops with Soapstone. They replaced the island counter top with an acacia wood slab. A tile back splash helps to make things pop.

The living room of

If you have yet to tour a condo in Milo Court, the photo above shows the open concept living area on the entry level. Upgrades visible in the two photos above include the luxury vinyl plank flooring, a projection TV and a framed screen area. The laundry room is just off the kitchen area. The seller added a motion light which means no fumbling for the light switch when carrying your laundry basket. Not visble in the photos above is the powder room. The seller upgraded this space with an antique vanity with pedestal sink.

The three bedrooms and two bathrooms are downstairs in this floor plan. One thing you notice immediately on the bedroom level is the flooring. The seller went with polished concrete floors that are both attractive and cool under foot.

A Decade of Hard Work

While Hana is a great place for a sustainable lifestyle and growing your own food. It isn’t always easy to start from scratch. Land needs to be cleared, soil augmented, structures need to be built, energy systems set up and of course orchards need to be planted. There is a lot of trial and error. This 2.78 acre parcel provides an opportunity to reap the literal fruit of the seller’s labors. Over the last decade, the owners thoughtfully and lovingly planted the property with hundreds of fruit trees, flowers and foliage. They used permaculture principles while farming. The farm received organic certification for three years before being discontinued last year due to a lack of need.
