One of the most conveniently located homes in Kona comes complete with solar hot water, private outdoor entertaining space, and views of the ocean.

This beautifully maintained home in Malulani Gardens backs onto currently vacant land. Malulani Gardens is a quiet, gated community just five minutes from Kailua Pier and essential shopping. A survey, home inspection, and termite report have already been prepared.

The open floor plan, vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light make the great room feel extra spacious. Beautiful, easy-care tile floors carry throughout the great room. The kitchen and dining room are surrounded by windows.

The kitchen is marked by gorgeous granite countertops, breakfast bar and backsplash, plentiful cabinet space and a window with a view. Make use of the indoor dining space or step out onto the lanai to enjoy a meal outdoors. Colorful hibiscus flowers, ti, crotons and palm trees provide privacy, and the backyard overlooks vacant land and the ocean.

The spacious, comfortable master bedroom opens to the lanai and views, and has lovely acacia wood floors and vaulted ceilings. After a full day of exploring the island, be rejuvenated in the luxurious master bathroom where you'll find a granite vanity with two sinks and a travertine-lined walk-in shower with glass doors. The master bath floors are travertine as well.

The guest bedroom is roomy and comfortable and offers a large closet and has a vaulted ceiling as well. The guest bathroom is also beautifully appointed, and it includes a bathtub with shower fixtures.

The attached garage is finished and painted and includes shelves and drawers for extra storage.

Malulani Gardens is set just above Kailua Bay at 375 feet elevation and is known for its quiet, park-like setting. In just a quick drive, activities and amenities abound … or indulge in a restful afternoon at home, with a view of swaying palm trees and the bright blue Pacific.
