Handsomely perched over water’s edge w/ 160 ft. of direct ocean frontage stands this residence & detached cottage. Experience the finest materials & craftsmanship in a very special & private oceanfront setting. Vibrant hibiscus flowers & sounds of the ocean liven the senses as you approach the 14ft. ‘ohia poles-the gateway into what is unequivocally the top valued oceanfront residence on Maui. Many large windows afford prime vantage points to remain intimately connected from any point in the entire home to ocean, Haleakala, and Maalaea Harbor vistas abound. Your new home was completely remodeled (most recently as 2011) w/ a plethora of exotic hardwoods, surfaces, & finishes. Envision Venetian plaster, Travertine, & Hawaiian Koa-it all lives here & more, in a perfect state of balance & sophistication. The great room redefines the open concept for living, dining, food & timeless memory creation. A massive solid monkeypod kitchen island that is only rivaled by the one which this residence calls home is stylishly accented by mango cabinetry, exotic granite slabs, & superior stainless appliances. On the lanai, sliding glass walls disappear, soothing sounds of lightly crashing waves emerge, and the ten resident turtles smile up at you. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are suites each w/ their own distinctive elegance & all with perfectly framed views. Book your first class tickets, prepare your $4m wire transfer, & get your appointment today- this is a true steal & you will regret not owning this home.

Love the Layout of this house. They used the Maxim Lighting Under cabinet (CounterMax) LED lighting to illuminate the countertops as well the Glimmer pendants in the formal dinning room.

In order to attain the high ceilings and open area the owners envisioned, the original drop ceiling was eliminated and the ductwork and electrical wiring was transferred into the walls. As if rewiring the entire lower level weren’t enough, the team was able to dig an additional three feet below the original foundation from 1917 to add even more height to the space.

Under cabinet lighting adds so much to a kitchen. Here they used that CounterMax task lighting to illuminate and add drama to the countertops
