Shut the world out behind the gates of this renovated, solar-driven Keonekai Heights residence, a rare combination of interior elegance and lush outdoor space that envelops the property. Four bedrooms, set up as two on the main entry level (including Master), and downstairs, an attached Studio Ohana with separate entrance, along with a fourth bedroom possibility (also with separate entrance). Its footprint was crafted to create a multitude of living options, and to take full full advantage of two levels of lush and tranquil garden space. The exterior landscape and views are lush, varied and interesting, and embracing this magical property is as much about outdoor living as the indoor space. The tone is set by an expansive wraparound ocean view lanai off the main level. Or, change perspectives with and your view transforms, shifting elevation and panning the West Maui mountains. The exterior space affords its occupants a rare level of outdoor privacy in a true garden setting, blending myriad views and varied greenery to create a sanctuary uncommon to the likes of Kihei. Entering the home, you're on the top, main level, which is framed by Cathedral ceilings and hosts two of the three bedrooms and two baths. An open loft is perched, gallery-style, above the living space below. The Primary Suite was expanded and remodeled in 2013, enhanced with a dramatic en-suite bathroom with an oversized walk-in shower, dual-sink vanity, and custom cabinets. Its custom walk-in closet does not disappoint. This beautifully crafted suite accesses the extended wrap-around, ocean view lanai and meanders the expansive, 9278 square foot lot. The kitchen is contemporary and functional and blends granite and stainless within abundant dedicated space. A three-station split AC system effectively cool the space on command. Like the exterior, the interior was recently painted, adding to the prevailing light, open, and natural vibe. Another fully functional garden suite comprises the downstairs, which accesses the property's serene, natural setting and views off a pair of lanais. French doors open to a private gazebo area and a trickling water feature. The renovation continued downstairs, with a lovely new bathroom in place. A third private sleeping area (office?) has its own private entrance. This property's creative footprint is ideal for the extended family or for a private sanctuary for frequent visitors.
