5657 Ohelo Road is a splendid example of Hawaiian Modern design reminiscent of revered architect Vladimir Ossipoff. Behind the gates and perched above the Wailua River Valley on a third of an acre, this striking residence is a rare find. The owners have been thoughtful stewards, honoring the original 60's design, while seamlessly blending modern conveniences resulting in a classic space for sophisticated entertaining and casual island living. Upon entering the residence you are struck by the vaulted open beam ceilings, oversize skylight, spacious atrium with Zen garden and the vast walls of glass providing sweeping views of the valley below and the forested peaks in the distance from from Hinaiuka to Mount Waialeale. There are two formal bedrooms, a third bedroom-office-den and two updated baths with custom vanities and Quartz countertops complimenting the original tiled bathing enclosures. The home is overflowing with air, views and light and wherever you look, a variety of windows frame island vignettes. The principal bedroom sits amongst mature lush landscaping providing a tree-house feel where a spiral staircase delivers you to the 48’ lap pool and outdoor shower. The living area is open and expansive, flowing into the dining area, kitchen and the screened lanai, where you float above the valley. The property features a fireplace, new stainless steel appliances, front loading laundry, new roof, new interior paint, new Italian tile in the living, dining, kitchen and baths, driftwood trim throughout and a variety of storage spaces. The private setting is low maintenance, fenced and has potential for an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) in a convenient mid-island location at a cool elevation. Fortunate are the few to call this property home where attention-to-detail and the pride-of-ownership shines throughout.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
