1002 Kihei Rd, 212 Kihei, Maui 96753

There are homes that shelter, and then there are homes that listen. Set quietly along the shoreline in central Kihei, this rare direct beachfront corner residence offers a daily rhythm shaped by ocean, light, and breeze. 1 of only 9 direct beachfront units in this boutique complex, the 2-bed, 2-bath, 954 SF home is the largest floor plan among comparable units and enjoys a 2nd-floor location with exceptional privacy, with no public foot traffic in front or behind the unit. A grassy state-owned parcel stretches between the building and beach, a verdant buffer providing peace-of-mind from beach erosion & sea-level rise concerns. Completely remodeled in 2017, the interior blends relaxed island comfort with timeless finishes. The kitchen features granite countertops, Shaker-style cabinetry, glass-tile backsplash, powered center island and new appliances. Both bathrooms were also renovated with granite counters, new cabinetry and fixtures. Engineered wood flooring warms the bedrooms, complemented by tile flooring in the kitchen, baths & living area. A full wall of tinted modern tight-seal floor-to-ceiling louvered windows spans the oceanfront side of the home, inviting trade winds and natural light throughout. From this elevated vantage point, enjoy the soothing sounds of the surf year-round, and during whale season, marvel as humpback whales breach, spout and tail-slap just offshore, especially enchanting each evening as the sun slips serenely from sky to sea...perhaps accompanied by the ultimate solar flourish, the elusive "green flash"? The lifestyle is effortless and walkable-steps to the complex pool and sandy beach, with tennis & pickleball courts on the adjacent state land, and easy access to shopping, dining, and services at Pi?ilani Village and Azeka’s centers. The unit has been owner-occupied (and never rented) for nearly 30 years, is sold furnished & includes two parking spaces (one assigned.) At time of listing, it is the 2nd lowest-priced direct beachfront unit in South Maui, presenting a rare opportunity to own a private, thoughtfully updated island home in an increasingly limited beachfront market.
