LIving on the Wailuku river is like no other experience! You may think you won't get used to the rush of the water and then you realize you are sleeping like a baby! Sellers have traveled the world, living in many environments so they built this home to incorporate that full lifestyle. This floor plan enabled them to welcome visitors from around the globe while they worked at their creative endeavors. There are as many windows open to the views and breezes as an architect could allow. Kitchen/living creates a great room designed before we had even thought about that concept! Fully owned PV system installed in 2007. Many touches enhanced over time. Up to you if you keep them or change them. This home has its fair share of steps so its not wheel chair friendly. However, there is a ramp from the carport to the back deck/door for ease of access to that area. An ensuite & office on the entry level with 2 bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. The deck is a true delight spanning the full width of the home along the back/river side, fully covered for your enjoyment!
