Arashi Beach House
Floor Plan and Details
The house was built in the early 1970's when the northern tip of the island was sparsely populated and not fully developed into the premier location it is today. Originally it was a single family home but at one point it was divided in half and turned into 2 apartments. At a later date a patio and guest room was added. The owners purchased the house in 2005. At that point in time it was open in the middle again and the owners closed it, turning it into a Mother/Daughter house to suit their needs. The one kitchen was totally remodeled with cabinetry from the US and Kitchen Aid appliances.In June of 2010, the wall dividing the house was reopened, bringing the house back to it's original state. The second kitchen could now be converted with little effort into a bar for entertaining guests.
Other improvements included a new roof, split unit air conditioners in each room (Panasonic), tank less on demand hot water, built in closets and drawers in the bedrooms, screening on the windows and enclosing the original car port.
Recent major additions and improvements include the swimming pool, full landscaping with drip irrigation, enclosed the patio area with screening and jalousie windows and a second garage with a covered deck with sea views.
Construction is 6 inch solid block (many new houses are being built with 4 in. block to cut costs) and re-enforced concrete.
