This ocean view 3 bed/2 bath home on a 1.5 acre lot is located in the upscale Maliu Ridge subdivision near Hawi. Built as a pole house, it was completely remodeled in 2007 with a central living area featuring high ceilings and attractive architectural detail that the current owner retained while creating an improved, open floor plan.

Upgrades include:

— well-designed kitchen with large center island, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances (most recently replaced) and detail to please an avid cook
— all new windows and doors including a hand-carved front door
— hardwood flooring
— gas fireplace which can provide heat or just ambience to the living and dining areas
— photovoltaic panels, upgraded electrical control panel, and new roof under the solar installation
— wrap-around covered lanai with Trex decking
— Jacuzzi tub where you can enjoy the ocean view by day and the stars overhead at night
— large laundry room with cabinets opening to a two-car garage.

The primary bedroom has ocean view, direct access to the lanai, a luxurious shower in the en suite bathroom, and a walk in closet with built-in shelving. A second bedroom with windows to the garden view is across the hall next to the second bath. This bath is shared by the third bedroom which can also serve as a home office.

The beautifully landscaped grounds include seating areas where you can read a book or enjoy the view. For the serious gardener there is a greenhouse, equipment shed, fruit trees, vegetable and flower gardens, and plenty of room to expand.

Maliu Ridge has CC&Rs but no association or dues. Utilities are underground. Residents walk the quiet streets with their neighbors and dogs, waving to passing cars. The towns of Hawi and Kapaau with services, shops, and restaurants are a short drive down the hill; the beaches of the Kohala Coast resorts and the larger town of Waimea/Kamuela are 30 minutes awa
