This enchanting residence occupies a large double corner lot on the hillside above Lanikai beach. The property includes two TMKs (tax map key IDs 1-4-3-003-029/030), or two adjoining parcels. While you can easily walk to the beach, the property is nestled deep into Lanikai up a dead end street, away from the busier Lanikai loop and far past the main beach accesses frequented by beach goers and tourists visiting famous Lanikai Beach. The surrounding grounds are an idyllic paradise reminiscent of a storybook secret garden. There are tall, twisty signature trees with interesting character, mature tropical plants and flowers and spacious lawns. A natural swimming pool and a meandering flowing stream were added in 2002.The floor plan, which includes two master suites, thoughtfully separates the two downstairs bedrooms at one end of the house from the downstairs master suite at the other end. Remodeled in 2000, the home features bamboo and slate floors, plantation shutters, home-wide sound and security systems, new refrigerator, extended eaves, outdoor beach shower, sprinkler system, abundant closet/storage space, and a flagstone driveway. The second story great room/master suite has views of the ocean and Mokulua Islands, high ceilings, and a stone fireplace for cozy evenings. There are Asian touches throughout, such as bamboo walls and shoji closet doors. A seamless kitchen window and enclosed lanai contribute to the Zen atmosphere by uniting the outdoors with the interior space.
