Island Living Elevated: Views, Breezes & Tranquility in Wailuku Heights. Experience the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and panoramic island views in this inviting home, where a wrap-around lanai and lush surroundings create a truly serene Maui lifestyle. Positioned on a corner lot, the property offers enhanced privacy, refreshing natural airflow, and a peaceful setting alongside a lush greenbelt with a natural drainage feature, providing a serene backdrop and a heightened sense of space. Mature, fruit-bearing trees – including sugar apple, guava, avocado, papaya, citrus, dragon fruit, and more – create a vibrant outdoor environment that feels both inviting and connected to nature. From the front of the home, take in bi-coastal views on clear days, along with sweeping vistas of Kahului Harbor, Central Maui, and Haleakala, while the West Maui Mountains form a beautiful natural backdrop behind the property. From sunrise to sunset, the home captures ever-changing skies – from soft morning light to warm golden hues in the evening – along with distant views of aircraft arriving and departing, adding a dynamic element to the panoramic scenery. The main residence, located on the second floor, features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, while the finished first floor is currently configured as a studio-style space with a kitchenette and full bathroom. This flexible layout offers potential for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living, subject to buyer’s due diligence. The primary bedroom and an adjacent bedroom share the same stunning outlook as the lanai, while the third bedroom, located at the rear of the home, enjoys peaceful West Maui Mountain views. The home’s elevation and surrounding greenery contribute to a naturally cooler interior, enhancing a comfortable indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Recent improvements enhance both comfort and style throughout the home. The interior features updated flooring, a refreshed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and wood cabinetry, as well as tastefully updated bathrooms with modern vanities. The primary suite includes a spacious walk-in shower. The first floor has also been improved with updated flooring, a renovated shower, and a dedicated laundry area. The studio-style space includes a kitchenette equipped with a microwave, stove, and refrigerator. Additional upgrades include a solar water heating system and water heater improvements, contributing to overall efficiency and functionality.
