Located in the “sunbelt” of Hawaiian Paradise Park, only 3 blocks from the ocean, this custom move-in-ready home on 1 acre offers the perfect opportunity to embrace the coastal lifestyle. The professionally landscaped property features a gated entrance with lava rock pillars, and a winding palm-lined driveway leading to a one of a kind home that’s positioned away from the road to maximize security and privacy. The impeccably maintained home features a newly renovated kitchen that boasts a modern look with ample counter space, an island for meal prep and casual dining, and a pantry. Appliances include a French door refrigerator, dishwasher, a slide-in gas range/oven, and a washer and dryer. The split floor plan places the primary suite and secondary suite, each with their own ensuite, at opposite ends of the home. The sunroom seamlessly connects the inside living area with the outdoors. A flex space off the living room could be utilized as an office, play or hobby area, or converted into a third bedroom. Built with cool concrete floors, 10-ft ceilings, clerestory windows, and ceiling fans throughout, designed to take advantage of the trade winds, and keep the interior bright and airy. This unique home is surrounded by a lush lawn with mature tropical fruit trees and exotic palms, thoughtfully planted to maintain room to accommodate a future in-ground pool. Out back there's a permitted detached 500 sq. ft. outbuilding offering extra space for various uses. There's a water well and new on-demand water heater.<br><br>This prime location is truly exceptional- less than 1 mile from the oceanside park at the bottom of the subdivision.
