149A

“Is this heaven?” a child whispered, mesmerized by the Lanikai Beach just a stone’s throw from 149A Haokea Drive. “No,” her mother chuckled, “it’s even better. It’s Lanikai.” 149A, tucked away on a charming lane, offers a glimpse into the idyllic island lifestyle. This four-bedroom, three-bath house is more than just a vacation home. It’s a portal to paradise. Built in 1949, 149A has witnessed generations of families creating cherished memories within its walls. Imagine the stories these walls could tell. The spacious kitchen, perfect for preparing fresh island cuisine, opens up to a dining room and a wrap-around covered deck made of durable ipe wood. Picture family dinners under the stars, the gentle ocean breeze carrying the scent of plumeria. A large living room provides ample space for relaxation. A separate guest ensuite, the fourth bedroom, offers privacy for visitors. Upstairs, the primary bedroom ensuite is a sanctuary with its own private bathroom. But the true magic of 149A lies outside. An open patio leads to a landscaped yard, a vibrant tapestry of tropical flora. A mature avocado tree, a mango tree laden with ripe fruit, and a Hawaiian orange tree perfume the air with their sweet fragrance. An irrigation system keeps the garden lush and green. An outdoor shower provides a refreshing rinse after a day spent playing in the sand. 149A boasts travertine and hardwood floors, high ceilings, and central air conditioning for ultimate comfort. The property sits on 0.17 acres, a generous space that provides both privacy and a connection to the natural beauty of Lanikai. Just a short walk from the pristine sands of Lanikai Beach, 149A Haokea Drive is more than just a house. It’s an embodiment of the Hawaiian dream, a place where time seems to slow down, and the worries of the world melt away.
