The result is a composite architecture which balances both the historic and modern with contextual imagery. There are also underlying references to Charles Dickey's work in Hawaii. The interior flooring is made from rich Brazilian cherry wood mixed with natural stone tiles throughout the kitchen, entry foyer, and bathrooms making the inhabitant keenly aware of nature’s abundant riches. The top-of-the-line home appliances feature a GE Profile refrigerator, Bosch on-demand gas heater and dishwasher, Jenn-air gas cook top, and GE gas dryer and washing machine. Ipe wood decking on the exterior lanai’s intertwine with the inside living space seamlessly, thus extending the interior into a doorway to natures fruitful offerings outside. The 100% native Hawaiian plant landscaping brings a sense of pride and history to the owner with an incredibly well-balanced selection of varied tropical foliage. All 3 large bedrooms are uniquely separated within the 2,940 square-foot living space, each with their own private, full bathroom thus creating an absolutely relaxed living environment. A wonderfully quiet location in Princeville’s unit 4, you are within short walking distance to the Hanalei Bay Resort and its world-class beach shared with the Princeville St.Regis Hotel and just a short drive to famous Hanalei Bay.
