Overview - This is a great opportunity for the buyer wanting to build a custom home on a larger lot while having a beautifully remodeled (2006) 2b/1b main home of approximately 725 sq. ft. and separate 1b/1b guest suite of approximately 410 sq. ft. to live in while planning and building the home of their dreams. The large .63 acre lot, sitting above Piilani Hwy, offers a quiet, peaceful atmosphere with an expansive ocean view which, through design and placement, can be maximized for a custom home. There is no bordering lot to block the Westerly Ocean view and with the County’s 30 year plan currently showing no planned development immediately on the Makai side of Piilani highway to disturb the view.

As these pictures illustrate, the views from this lot encompass Kaho’olawe, Molokini, Lanai and awesome Westerly views of the Pacific, which are particularly beautiful at sunset.

It’s a pleasant stroll down Kilohana Drive to one of Maui’s, and Hawaii’s, most beautiful and renowned beaches, Keawakapu Beach.

 

Existing Home - The existing newly remodeled single level home features an approximately 727 sq. ft. 2 bed, 1 bath main home and detached approximately 412 sq. ft. 1 bed, 1 bath guest suite, gives the interior a new home feeling with obvious detailed quality craftsmanship throughout. Together, an extra large lot, great views and beautifully remodeled home with detached guest suite combine to offer a lot of options. Note: County of Maui permits no more than two dwellings on a rural zoned lot. One more PLUS - the list price includes all furnishings and a one year AHS homeowner warranty, a turnkey opportunity for those looking to move right in.

The custom marble tile entry and upgraded entry door with artistic glass panel opens to a specious kitchen, surrounded by custom hardwood cabinets and granite countertops on three sides, making entertaining fun and easy. The appliances are all stainless steel, new in 2006, and the floor covered in 16” porcelain tile providing both beauty and easy cleaning. The home features recessed lighting throughout, which combines with plenty of natural light to provide a well lite interior, day or night.

The master bedroom has mirrored sliders on the closet give the room an expansive feeling, while a slider glass door opens up onto a covered lanai measuring approximately 10 feet by 12 feet. The recessed lighting includes two reading lights over the head of the bed, each controlled separately. For those warmer days there is a wall A/C unit and ceiling fan to cool things off. The bath has a walk-in limestone tiled shower with Grohe adjustable shower head, granite topped hardwood cabinetry with twin sinks and upgraded light. The guest bedroom includes a ceiling fan with light, wall mounted controls, recessed lighting and ceiling mounted TV bracket.

The detached guest suite is approximately 412 sq. ft. and includes recessed lighting throughout, carpeting on approximately one half the floor area complimented by marble tile through the remaining area, a ceiling fan and large attic storage area with pull down ladder assembly. The guest bath features limestone tiled tub and shower, tiled floor and upgraded custom sink and faucet with framed mirror and wall mounted lights.

 

This property provides many options, from offering a turnkey income property to rent out immediately to a home for the owner to occupy immediately and live in comfortably while planning and building a much larger permanent home. Since the County of Maui allows a maximum of two dwellings on a rural lot, at least one of the existing structures would have to be either incorporated in the new custom home or removed. An ohana can be up to 700 sq. ft. in area.
