Not a Dream, just a Dream Home! Looking for a home that's truly a cut above and more than you'd expect? Want something different yet still practical and impressive? Designed by one of Hawaii Island's most popular architects, this timeless design is unmistakably a Virginia McDonald home. With emphasis on the use of native hardwoods and stonework, her design feature soaring ceilings and a center skylight cupola which insure the home always receives great natural light that work with gleaming Ohia flooring, pine t&g ceilings and center cross beam ceilings to create a feeling that it is possible for nature to live inside and out. The custom design features a chef's kitchen that looks out into an impeccably developed garden area with walking paths and places to pause and enjoy life's best moments. Maple cabinetry, tiled counters, newer appliances and a walk-in pantry insure you will continue to enjoy the kitchen for years to come. With a dining area, living room and bonus room (could be easily converted to bedroom 3) surrounding an over sized lanai, the lanai can be accessed by a series of doors which not only provide access but bring additional light into the living spaces. In fact, almost every available inch in this home is serviced by windows or sliders that help insure the outdoors becomes part of the living area. Located opposite the guest wing, the master is has a proper dressing area and a huge custom tiled curtain-less shower. Even the over-sized guest room has a bathroom that rivals most master baths. The bonus room currently houses a nice sized pool table but could also serve as a media room, workout/yoga retreat or the ultimate art studio. So see it and pinch yourself because this one is an amazing package that is move-in ready and so much more!
