This charming mountain bungalow fits well on this lovely lot amidst a mix of tropical Rhododenrons (Vireya) and mature native Ohia on rolling grassy terrain. Your own private botanical garden. Many custom features plus "green" energy efficient additions will help you live more comfortably and affordably. Built by an artistic bird lover as evidenced by several etched and stained glass windows illustrating various native birds. Also most rooms have a large skylight bringing in the natural light, allowing you to live without turning on lights, even on rainy days.
The home is a compact split level design. A few steps up to the front porch is the main level with high vaulted pine ceilings soaring above the kitchen, dining and living area. The wood burning fireplace is the focal point of this area. A large window in the dining area offers an amazing view into the rolling grassy and forested rear yard resembling "Middle Earth". A large covered deck off this level is perfect for BBQ or a spot to sit and listen to the birds. A few steps down from the main entry is acccess to garage and laundry.
A few steps up from the living area is the 3 bedroom, 2 bath wing with high vaulted ceilings and skylights to keep rooms light and bright. Leaded glass panes in the upper walls of the hall allow the light to come into the hallway for natural light there too. A green feature that helps to light normally dark areas such as halls and bathrooms. Don't miss the potential Sauna Room in first bathroom.
Newer "green features" installed by current owners are the 8 PV panels on the roof generating electricity. This is a wholly owned system and net meters back to HELCO at a low monthly fee to the owners. Hot water heater replaced with a "heat pump" water heater allows water to heat with a minimal use of electricity.
This property also backs up to MAHINUI TREEHOUSE at 11-3883 4th St. (MLS#62816) listed by same agents. A perfect spot for your guests.
