Located in the highly sought-after Reeds Island neighborhood, this classic home blends vintage quality construction with generous living spaces and modern comforts. Designed in the mid-century Hawaiian Modern style with Japanese influences, it features timeless custom details and craftsmanship, including tongue-and-groove cedar walls, original fir floors, and shoji-inspired doors that create a warm, inviting ambiance. An owned 26-panel solar system with net metering provides energy efficiency and cost savings.

The great room offers a versatile layout, currently used as a children's playroom and second home office, but easily reimagined as the home's main gathering space. Spacious and centrally located, it connects to the kitchen, living room, primary suite, laundry, and home office. The galley kitchen features quartz countertops and modern stainless steel appliances, and for those seeking an open floor plan, it could be opened to the dining area with minimal effort.

The large living room includes a wood-burning fireplace, with shoji sliding doors flowing onto a covered lanai overlooking the rainforest, enhanced by the soothing sounds of the Waikapu stream below.

Upstairs, the large primary bedroom includes an en suite bath, dressing room with double closet, and built-in storage. Each guest bedroom has its own bathroom, and the third bedroom opens to a private lanai. The full-height lower level, accessible from the living room or a private entrance, offers a versatile fourth bedroom/studio with a bathroom and kitchenette.

This 1.25-acre parcel extends to the middle of the stream. The surrounding yard is a tropical retreat, landscaped with flowering ornamentals and pineapple stands. A terraced lawn features a mature fruit orchard with oranges, mountain apples, avocado, and rare water apples. A circular driveway provides overflow parking, complemented by a two-car carport and exterior storage.
