Conveniently located on the dry side of Waimea, this country-style four bedroom home on an acre in South Kohala View Estates features a light-filled open floor plan with an award-winning kitchen at the heart of the home.The home has a big garage for vehicles and storage at street level, with living areas elevated to capture the views. Right-sized at just over 2,000 sq ft, a wrap-around lanai and plenty of windows bring the outdoors in, while established landscaping provides privacy from the neighbors.The current owners gutted the kitchen, tearing down a wall to connect the new kitchen with the dining and living space. Contemporary lighting fixtures and stainless steel appliances provide sophistication while details like the beadboard cabinets give the home a sense of place consistent with the up-country views.
