Historic "Mauka Hale" and "Hydrangea Cottage" (two complete homes). Grand three acre estate. Previous owners operated a permitted bed and breakfast. From the electric front gate flanked by mature hydrangea hedges on either side, to the long winding circle driveway. It is very apparent when you get there that you have "arrived". The landscape has been meticulously groomed for over 70 years into a mature, native, park-like setting. Features including magnolia, camellia and azaleas, complete the well-balanced lawn. If you enjoy entertaining, this home is the "Grand Entertainer". A windowe...d hallway leads your guests from the front door to the wet bar, at the far end. Relax by the formidable fireplace with koa mantle. A second living room, both with open beam cathedral ceilings and fireplace, provides entertainment options. Never bump elbows in this kitchen. With "two" dishwashers, wall ovens, hot food servers, three sinks and an ice maker, there is plenty of room for more than one cook in this kitchen. Huge central laundry with plenty of storage. Sound system in kitchen closet included. Originally built by a local doctor and held in the family for more than forty years. Sensible additions have been made since the 1942 construction. Multi-paned doublehung windows with fine hardware of that era. Original home is made of redwood siding. Zoned RS-20 gives potential for more development. Both dwellings have separate electric service panels and pumps. Redwoods x 2 and a steel water catchment tank. There is a UV filter. Large (600 sq. ft.) Two-car garage under the home. A large shed is located towards the middle of the property and can serve as an additional garage. MLS# 275193 Show more
