I think you just described my 35 year old plantation style 2 story in Kapoho.It is perfect for this area.Unfortunately they didn't use termite proof wood on the Big Island when it was built.I also have some water damaged beams.
That will all be corrected as I remodel and I am sure it will last much longer.I prefer preowned homes because of the mature landscaping.I can adapt the landscaping to my liking.
If I have to get a stair lift or build a ramp,so be it ,but I love the breezes on the upstairs lanai.
Also,no one in my family has ever had to use a wheelchair.I hope I have the same good genes.
