c.1971 Hawaii Fixer Upper Split Level $195K – Down The Street From Beach
$195,000
Take a 13-minute bike ride down the street from this Hawaii fixer upper and you will be at the beach! The two-bedroom, two-bath split level needs some work, but since living is mostly outside anyway in Paradise, we can put that aside for now.
