Description
This 3 bed/2 bath home with separate guest suite and office on a 1.45 acre lot is located in the upscale Maliu Ridge subdivision near Hawi. The lot is fully fenced and mature landscaping provides privacy from neighbors. Enjoy a peekaboo ocean view from several rooms and decks.

Built by a contractor as his own home, the home has vaulted ceilings and a well thought out floor plan to provide plenty of natural light and air circulation. Sliding doors off the living room and dining room open onto a partly covered lanai for indoor/outdoor living.

The kitchen features an oversized island with cooktop, custom cabinetry, walk in pantry and a large skylight. Perfect for entertaining or multiple cooks! There is a kitchen eating or sitting area with a bit of ocean view, in addition to the dining room.

The primary suite has a walk in closet and luxurious spa style en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms are located on the other side of the house for privacy, sharing a bath.

A separate guest suite, located on the opposite side of the garage from the house, is self-contained with bathroom, wet bar and its own ocean-view lanai. The two-car garage has two 220V plugs for charging electric vehicles, and generous built in shelving. A small office is attached to the garage.

Sellers have made substantial updates, including new kitchen appliances, renovation of bathrooms and guest suite, and refinishing the exterior decks and interior flooring.

The mature landscaping includes both flowering and fruit trees. Plenty of room for a vegetable garden, or to add a pool.

Maliu Ridge has CC&Rs but no association or dues. Utilities are underground. Residents walk the quiet streets with their neighbors and dogs, waving to passing cars. The towns of Hawi and Kapaau with services, shops, and restaurants are a short drive down the hill; the beaches of the Kohala Coast resorts and the larger town of Waimea/Kamuela are 30 minutes away.
