Elegant 2nd Floor Villa: Honua Kai 244
Brought to market in early July of this year, Honua Kai 244 is a lovely 2nd floor villa with an open concept layout that enhances its 695 sqft of interior space. The living room has a slightly vaulted ceiling which helps with enhancing the open layout. Floor to ceiling windows at the back of the unit and just off of the main living area offer plenty of natural light and breezy air flow when opened. Located on the inner courtyard of the Hoku Lani Tower, this complex will be the furthest away from the upcoming Luana Garden Villas at Honua Kai.
With 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, the unit is large enough to comfortably accommodate 4 people, possible up to 6. The outdoor lanai is perfect for enjoying the West Maui trade winds and taking advantage of all the resort has to offer. The Hoku Lani tower is also the closest to the beach, but slightly further from the community pools.
Brought to market in the upper $900k range, we were able to negotiate $30k off asking price and close for $930,000.
Larger one bedroom partial ocean view home is available for resale at Honua Kai. H244 enjoys both partial ocean and mountain views from its lanai. Easy access to the elevator. Equipped with Bosch kitchen package, cooking meals is a treat.
This home sleeps 4 comfortably and comes turnkey for the new owner. This home participates in a very active rental program. This is a “must consider” for every buyer. Photos to be posted on 7/14/18.
Luana Gardens at Honua Kai
Much excitement has been growing around Honua Kai’s 3rd phase, Luana Gardens at Honua Kai. These units offer a nice contrast to the current units because they are built more like town homes and will offer more of a single family home feel.
It was announced earlier this year, the developers will go ahead with a 3rd phase at Honua Kai, Luana Garden Villas. Planned to be built in the large grassy area behind the two existing towers, the new units will be offered in a style other than a tower. The 72 villas are intended to be built in 18 separate buildings with 4 units in each.
