Located on Kynnersley Road in a gated, private setting on three park-like acres, this comfortable and unique residence built in 2013 offers stellar views of Maui in the distance, not to mention scenic coastline panoramas and rolling green lawns on the property itself. Enormous picture windows and a series of sliding glass doors unveil blue-sky scenery from the living room and west-facing lanai. Distinguished hardwood fl oors set the stage beneath exposed beams and a modern, sloping ceiling that extends the length of the house.

There’s even a wine cooler, gas fi replace and an advanced sound system throughout.

Flanked by stately lava-rock columns, the artfully designed wooden electronic gate opens to a palm-lined drive that leads to the home. Ample parking is available at the top of the concrete drive (that doubles as a basketball court), as well as in the spacious garage attached to the home. Ideal for dog owners, the plush, sprawling lawn unfolds beneath the expansive lanai, which includes a “wind-block” half wall on the north side, plus recessed lighting in the ceiling. Built fl ush into the lanai hardwood fl ooring is a luxurious Jacuzzi tub, ideal for enjoying sunset cocktails on a cool, winter evening in North Kohala. With plenty of ambient light streaming through the premises, the elegant kitchen includes a custom food-prep island/bar topped with “beach-sand” granite and featuring a wine cooler nestled between large, pull-out storage drawers. Paneled in wood, the fridge complements the custom cabinetry that surrounds a four-burner gas stove and oven, plus microwave. A dining “booth” provides coastal views from window seats positioned on either side of a custom-crafted monkeypod table. Upstairs on the landing provides the perfect spot for a home offi ce and/or bedroom overlooking the great room below. Clad in travertine, the gorgeous master bathroom feature a his-andhers vanity. The luxurious walk-in shower offers bench seating and a rain-shower head. Surrounded by a grove of protective trees, the home is well sheltered on windy days, plus extremely private in terms of neighboring homes. The small, close-knit towns of Hawi and Kapaau are home to a community of artists, creative professionals, kama‘aina families and retirees. Featured Home LISTED BY: Regan K.
