Description
Great big ocean views and beautiful updated spaces in a vintage property. This classy classic just keeps getting better with time! With carriage lights lining the street , Halaulani Place is one of East Hawaii's premier addresses. Extensively landscaped, the home enjoys gorgeous views of both the ocean and Kalalau Stream. Enter the home thru a custom Japanese inspired door (over 9 ft) to a formal slate tiled entry that incorporates an impressive art display alcove. Original double hung windows have been lovingly relocated to the living room area creating walls of windows that not only flood the space with light but allow beautiful views all around. The dining area opens to both a sun lanai and into a kitchen that has been loved and enjoyed and updated by generations of enthusiastic cooks. Corian counters, trendy white cabinetry, a 6 burner gas stove and a wall of butler pantry space (2 doors with power, 1 with an additional sink) make the kitchen easy to use and enjoy. Like most of the home, the kitchen enjoys amazing Pacific whitewater views. Just off the rear lanal, a large screened rear lanai added by the current owner is sure to delight. With over 500sf, this space looks directly into the stream and north down the coastline. Located just off a long "library" hallway are 3 bedrooms each with their own special charm. The master features a bath with spa tub and access to an outdoor shower. The adjacent dressing room would also make a great office space or nursery (one wall of closets can be easily removed). The other bedrooms share authentic bath access with furo style tub. The makai bedroom also has direct access to the screened rear lanai. The lower level carport has a dedicated staircase to the lanai and kitchen. Also on the street level is a partially finished basement (approx 1000 sf) that provides a nice work space or dry storage. It's a home with tons of personality with incomparable views and an address that commands value and attention!
