Experience tranquil island living in this exceptional 1,410-square-foot home set on a lush one-acre parcel just a short walk from the heart of Hāwī Town. Built by a professional contractor as his personal residence, this property showcases superior craftsmanship and thoughtful design rarely found in today’s construction. Completed just five years ago, the home features extra-thick, heavily insulated exterior walls, hurricane-resistant windows and doors, and a full moisture barrier beneath the structure resulting in a quieter, drier, and more comfortable living environment than typical island homes. The interior offers a primary bedroom plus a versatile office that functions as a second bedroom, along with 1.5 bathrooms, including a spa-like bath suite with dual sinks and a spacious walk-in shower designed for two. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas are warm and inviting, highlighted by Brazilian cherry wood floors and abundant natural light. The well-appointed kitchen features custom maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Outdoor living is enhanced by a screened-in lanai surrounded by lush greenery and partial ocean views, complete with a soaking tub for peaceful relaxation. An oversized laundry and utility room includes high-end appliances, a full-size upright freezer, and generous storage. The one-car garage is currently configured as a workshop, offering excellent flexibility and ample built-in storage for projects, hobbies or gear. Bordered by larger parcels, this private one-acre sanctuary offers exceptional privacy while remaining close to town. Mature trees and tropical fruit trees provide a natural buffer from the road, enhancing the peaceful setting. With water and electricity in place for a future ohana or expansion, this island gem offers quality construction, privacy, walkability, and long-term potential in desirable North Kohala.
