73-1201 AHIKAWA ST

Completely renovated, inside and out. Open-beam vaulted ceilings run the length of a great room that opens to ocean and coastline views, with an easy flow from kitchen to living to lanai rather than a series of closed-off rooms.

The kitchen is built for gathering -- butcher block counters, white shaker cabinetry, stainless appliances, a gas range, and a long island with room for everyone. Three bedrooms, three baths, plus a detached gym with its own entrance.

Outside is where this one comes alive. A gated driveway opens to a fully fenced, professionally landscaped property, private from the street. The covered lanai is built for a crowd -- mounted television, string lights overhead, ocean beyond. A separate front deck catches the view and the breeze.

From there the grounds unfold. Curved walkways with pebble inlay lead past lava rock planters and tropical plantings to the gym, where a sand play area and swing set sit just outside the doors. Lava stepping stones climb to a treehouse in a mature shade tree and a stone fire pit waiting for the end of the night. After dark, landscape lighting brings all of it back to life.

At 1,600 feet in Kona Coastview, minutes above Kailua-Kona, the airport, and the coast.
