Remarks: LIVE ON TOP OF THE WORLD IN A TOP-DRAWER QUALITY HOME!

Three aspects to consider: the setting, the additional opportunities, and the home itself.

The setting: TOP OF THE WORLD - as this residence is at the highest elevation of any on the entire Eastside, you have 360 degree views that surround you and inspire you. Everyday is different from this vantage point. Not one, but 3 different ocean views. Misty mountain views of Waialeale, Makaleha, Sleeping Giant, Kong, Hau'upu. All this and you are still just 12 minutes to the beach and town, 16 minutes from the airport, and only 23 minutes from the conveniences of Lihue.

The home was built with concrete and love which is evident in the choice of materials and attention to detail throughout. Split-face masonry wall construction with 1st floor concrete slab and 2nd floor steel pan and concrete composite floor system make this house incredibly strong. Solid wood floors and detailed natural stone and tile work through out. Modern bathrooms. Flowing living area. Fleetwood doors, Breezeway windows, and oversized g60 laminated windows add security and allow for unsurpassed panoramic views from every room. Wonderful craftsman finishes and endless details. A studio lock-out is also possible.

There are several additional opportunities with the property as there is a CPR underway that creates 2 separate approximately 2 acre parcels and the ability to build another home. Sell one and keep one. Or keep them both for the ultimate hilltop private estate. Approved house plans for 2nd house are available for viewing and septic system is already installed. The existing house could also be easily added on to if more square footage is desired.

Home on just 1.935 acres is also available for $1,650,000. See MLS# 230478.

Call your Agent for an appointment and treat yourself to an enjoyable experience. No drive-bys allowed.
