Discover a private sanctuary at the top of Maunawili Estates, one of Kailua's most private neighborhoods, where old-school island charm meets some of the finest views in all of Kailua. Set on a 20,000-square-foot lot near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and priced $234,700 below the current tax-assessed value, this distinctive 4BR/3BA home offers approximately 3,403 square feet of interior living area, plus 1,122 square feet of lanai, attic, and garage space. Custom Polynesian-inspired woodwork, handcrafted metal details, natural stone accents, curved architectural elements, and built-ins give the home character rarely found today. The light-filled main level features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, an expansive primary suite, cooling valley breezes, and a wraparound lanai framing sweeping views of Kailua Bay, Olomana, and the Ko'olau Mountains. The flexible lower level includes a large bonus room and separate-entry 1BR/1BA apartment with private outdoor space. Terraced gardens, elevated lookout areas, 17 photovoltaic panels, a Tesla charger, two-car garage, and no rear neighbors complete this rare opportunity for a buyer ready to add personal touches and create an exceptional Kailua retreat.
