Rarely does a property of this caliber become available. Designed by acclaimed Hawai?i architect Charles William Dickey and built in 1935 as the private estate of Laura Vestal Kennedy, exceptionally well-built and meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 4-bath residence has remained in the same family since its completion. Offering 4,894 SF of living area, an additional 826 SF of lanais, and situated on 1.38 lushly landscaped ACRES directly across from Carlsmith Beach Park, a truly rare legacy property. Zoned RS-15, the property may offer subdivision potential (Buyer to verify with Hawai?i County), creating an exceptional opportunity for both homeowners & investors. Constructed by contractor Z. Kawasaki, this distinctive three-story home showcases timeless architectural character with graceful curved staircases, soaring ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors on the upper two levels, and abundant custom windows framing tropical garden, forest, and ocean views. Spacious Great Room opens to expansive lanais where cooling trade winds and ocean views create the perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing. Efficient kitchen adjoins both casual and formal dining areas. Upper level features two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, with one opening directly onto the sun deck. Three of the four bedrooms include cedar-lined closets. Main level offers an additional bedroom and full bath, while the lower level provides an oversized laundry/hobby room, multiple storage rooms, and abundant space for projects or future possibilities. A detached garage complements the property, while mature tropical landscaping provides exceptional privacy in a park-like setting. Lovingly preserved by the same family since 1935, this extraordinary estate combines architectural significance, exceptional craftsmanship, generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, and an irreplaceable location near Carlsmith Beach Park, which is one of the best snorkeling beaches in East Hawaii.
