Oceanfront home in Poipu Beach, Kauai. This home’s unbelievable views transport you to another world. For the buyer who wants to customize the look of your home the sellers have provided you a head start, included in the sale are Building Permits and Plans. Choose all the finishes yourself to complement your style. Between the sound of waves and the sight of whales in the winter, you’ll easily get lost in the ocean’s allure. Oceanfront properties on Lawai Road don’t often hit the market, making this 4 bedroom, 3 bath tri-level home within walking distance of Spouting Horn and Kukui’ula Harbor a rare find. Step through the entry of this 2,744 sq. ft. home and into the living room, which has windows across the front to maximize views of boats, surfers, dolphins, and sunsets, depending on the time of year. Watch a dazzling show unfold before your eyes every day from the comfort of the family room or one of two lanais. There’s also a little beach where turtles and monk seals nap in the sunshine year-round. Stunning ocean views can also be enjoyed from an en-suite master bedroom that is so expansive, it constitutes the entire top floor! Along with the living room, there is a kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and a full bath on the entry level. While this home is not and cannot be a vacation rental, the bottom floor also has its own entry with a separate bedroom, bathroom, and sitting area. You can host family and friends, and everyone can enjoy their own living space. Enjoy the charming backyard where you’ll find plenty of room to sunbathe or entertain. Access to the 1-car garage can be done directly from the house. In 2019, the traditional oceanfront cesspool was replaced with a septic system. All that this property is missing now is your creative touch. To take a virtual tour cut and paste this link into a new browser window: http://bit.ly/40WW8Dr
POIPU BEACH OCEANFRONT is the location of this amazing 4 bedroom 3 bath home. Relax and enjoy the beautiful ocean views, watch the whales go by, the turtles and dolphins play in the blue Pacific Ocean and the breathtaking sunrise and sunset. This home is currently a successful vacation rental, but also would make a great home for part or full time living. The home has been completely remodeled in 1993 and steel enforced foundation was added.
