Charming 1950’s Kihei Beachfront Living: 1560 Halama Street
We first brought out Halama Street listing to market in the middle of August towards the end of the busy summer season. We are extremely familiar with the area as I grew up around here as a kid and into my teens. We’ve also sold and listed quite a few properties in the area over the last few years. Halama Street in particular is prestigious beach neighborhood in Kihei and is regarded as some of Kihei’s best beachfront homes. Many buyers favor the Halama Street area because it offers convenient access to pristine waters and a rather private beach area for lounging.
The property itself sits barely even 30 yards from the sandy shoreline, yet still has a nice little yard area as a buffer between the home the beach. This epic offering is situated on the water’s edge with a 1950’s vibe that exudes character throughout. A timeless Hawaii Beach House and Ohana located on a 17,000 square foot lot, this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity, and we were happy to help our seller clients find the right buyers to pass it along to.
The lot is built like a true estate and holds countless opportunities with the ohana or beach cottage in the front of the property and closest tot he street. The main house is the closest to the beach with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and just under 1300 sqft. The outdoor living area just off of the back of the house is perfect catching the famous South Maui sunsets and is the quintessential area for bbq with friends and family.
After 3 days on the market, we received a great offer that our buyers were willing to accept. We ended up closing for full asking price at $2,695,000.
When you set foot on the property, you will immediately be transported to Old Hawaii. A unique feeling that you must experience in person to truly appreciate the splendor. This large and useable lot is the perfect foundation to begin anew. You can clear the palette, or retain the existing structures for restoration or remodeling. The choice is yours!
The sunsets and whale watching from the property are unparalleled. Nearby are all of Kihei’s many amenities, including first-class restaurants, shopping, tennis facilities at Kalama Park, and miles of white sandy beaches and ocean recreation. Property to be sold “AS IS”.
