Property Description
This remarkable Upcountry home once home to celebrated Hawai‘i artist and educator Richard “Dick” L. Nelson creator of the renowned Tri-Hue watercolor technique. Designed in collaboration with distinguished mid-century architect Edward Sullam, a protégé of legendary architect Vladimir Ossipoff. A charming 1-bedroom cottage welcomes you near the entry, while the main residence sits atop the property, capturing panoramic vistas. One of the 3 bedrooms served as Dick Nelson’s private art studio and features its own separate entrance, creating endless possibilities for a creative retreat, guest suite, family room, home office, or private sanctuary. The spacious primary suite offers two walk-in closets and easy access to a beautifully appointed bath with dual vanities, walk-in shower, and heated towel bar. The additional bedroom is ideal for guests, or flexible work-from-home living. The kitchen features koa-accented cabinetry, updated built-in appliances, and stainless-steel refrigeration, blending island character with everyday functionality. The open plan features a wood burning fireplace and expansive deck to take in the view. A 2 car garage with loft storage adds convenience.
