About This Home
As of April 2021Enjoy the many upgrades this custom remodeled three bedroom three bath home plus art studio in Wailua has to offer. Large art studio and bath with a separate entrance is perfect for the large extended family. The Chef in your family will love the kitchen with new white quartz countertops, plenty of cabinets, stainless appliances, wall ovens, granite composite kitchen sink and the large center island. The nice large travertine stone flooring throughout the entire house is easy maintenance. Great outdoor living on the spacious 555 sq ft protected covered lanai with large stamped cement floors. Air Conditioning in the master bedroom plus the attic was recently insulated and an attic fan installed which helps the house stays comfortable on those hot summer days. Solar water keeps electric bills very affordable. Enclosed yard with easy maintenance is great for the dogs to run around. Lava rock wall along one side of the yard is a stunning feature setting off the nice clean exterior. Three solar panels with 2 water heaters helps to keep the electric bill low. Two sets of washer/dryers. Owner occupied, so it shows well!
