249 Kapili St #501A, Honolulu

Description
Corner unit 1-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment rented as two separate studios with separate entries. The larger studio is presently vacant to allow an owner/occupant option, the smaller studio is renting for $1,450. Both units are completely remodeled with solid wood kitchen cabinets, new bathrooms, laminate and ceramic tile floorings. Storage space available for rent on some floors with manager's help to access. Parking available for rent on a waiting list. Kapili street is a quiet small street nestled between Kuhio Avenue and Ala Wai Boulevard, benefiting from the central Waikiki location without the traffic noise. Historically, Pacific Islander has been difficult to finance because of the size of the units, the absence of a full kitchen and the low owner occupancy rate. Please make sure the building qualifies before presenting an offer. Seller financing available with $50,000 to $75.000 down. Terms will vary depending on the down payment amount. Listor owner. Sold AS IS.
