This hilltop home, with a panoramic, unobstructed view of Anini Beach and the amazing Pacific Ocean, sits at the crest of a steep drive rising from a long stretch of lazy, reef-protected beach. The house utilizes rich wall and floor tiles, natural fabrics and gleaming wood and earth tones. The open floor plan captures ocean and mountain views from almost every room. The home is built into the side of the hill with an outdoor lap pool on the lower level and well placed decks throughout. The long, elegant entryway with a commanding, open view to the sea is breathtaking. The furnishings are oversized, luxurious and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, granite counters, a bar and a large pantry. The dining area is dominated by a boardroom-size table and comfortable chairs. From here, the view is toward the mountains across a beautifully landscaped yard and imported stone tiled patio with grill. The upper level is intersected by the entryway with the living room and its magnificent ocean view, the master suite, kitchen and dining area on one side, and two bedrooms, 1-1/2 bathrooms and TV room on the other side. Downstairs, there is an office with a trundle bed and a media room with a pull out queen sofa.

This home offers an exclusive setting in private seclusion. Anini Beach is within five minutes' drive for safe snorkeling and swimming, and fishing/whale watching charters - in season. Snorkeling out toward the protective reef reveals tranquil views of many colorful fish and the occasional sea turtle. Anini is also a favorite spot for surfing, in the summer when the north shore rarely receive waves. Only two miles from Princeville Resort with beaches, tennis, golf, restaurants and shopping makes this house ideally situated for both private exclusivity and convenience. The town of Hanalei is a few minutes' drive past Princeville where you will find more great beaches, surfing, shopping, and eating experiences amidst the local culture.
