Set beneath a mature monkeypod canopy with filtered ocean views, this multi-level Kona residence offers a distinctive treehouse-like connection to its tropical setting. Built in 1980 and offered for sale for the first time, the home includes 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath, approximately 1,762 square feet of living area, plus a lower-level one-bedroom, one-bath space.
The main living level is defined by soaring open-beam wood ceilings and a direct connection to the covered screened lanai. Elevated within the canopy, the lanai feels suspended among the branches, where breezes move through the foliage and ocean views appear beyond the trees. It is a calm, sheltered setting that captures the home’s architectural experience and reflects Hawaiʻi’s indoor-outdoor way of living. The main level also includes a secondary bedroom and bath, while the upper level is dedicated to the primary suite with an adjoining office.
The lower-level one-bedroom, one-bath apartment includes a spacious viewing deck, providing additional flexible space subject to buyer verification. A large workshop with storage adds further utility for projects, equipment, or creative use.
The home’s original composition remains compelling: vaulted wood ceilings, screened outdoor living areas, mature landscaping, ocean outlooks, and a layered floor plan that follows the terrain. Located in the established Sunset View Terrace community, the property reflects relaxed kamaʻāina character shaped by greenery, elevation, and open-air living.
Whether restoring its original beauty or creating a new vision, this is a distinctive opportunity to transform a property with enduring character into something truly remarkable.
Agents and Buyers must independently verify any info they deem material or important to their purchase or any offered price thereunder.
