Located in the “sunbelt” of Hawaiian Paradise Park, only 3 blocks from the ocean, this custom move-in-ready home on 1 acre offers the perfect opportunity to embrace the coastal lifestyle.
The professionally landscaped property features a gated entrance with lava rock pillars, and a winding palm-lined driveway leading to a one of a kind home that’s positioned away from the road to maximize security and privacy.
