This classic home with timeless charm is tucked away on a flag lot at the end of a private road, close to everything but away from all traffic. A one-story tropical retreat with views to Kailua Bay and beyond, never before offered for sale. Nestled on a generous 37,922 sq. ft. (0.87 acre) landscaped parcel, one of just 6 lots in the coveted enclave of Lani Kai Estates.

Built to endure as the forever home for a renowned local expert in many facets of engineering and all the intricacies of construction and permitting. Designed with the intent of being able to withstand the forces of nature, wind or rain or earthquakes, using high quality materials and then rigorously maintained.

The spacious living area with exposed beam ceiling opens on the ocean side to a sun room with an outdoor lanai. On the mauka side is a screened lanai, shady in the afternoon and overlooking the private backyard. Tiled throughout, except in the 2 bedrooms with a Jack & Jill bathroom in between. Through the kitchen is a butler pantry leading to a sewing room (or office area) off the laundry room. The 3rd bedroom, with optional direct outside access and a vanity sink, was previously used as a home office.

From the end of the paved driveway running up alongside the house and garage, a gravel driveway circles down back around past the lily pond, through the mango trees, colorful flowers and exotic plants.

Conveniently located between Kailua and Keauhou, above Kona Vistas and below Holualoa at the desirable 700+ feet elevation, just a few minutes drive from the ocean and all amenities.
