E malama pono (take good care) at 1816 Malama Street, nestled within the established heart of Kihei's Wai Mahaihai neighborhood. This single-family home offers a chance to embrace the spirit of Aloha with its captivating Haleakala views and the refreshing apo o ke kai (embrace of the sea), a mere 2,000' away. Currently tenant occupied, this property embodies the value of 'ohana (family), the layout featuring a 3 bedroom, 2 bath main house and an attached 1 bedroom, 1 bath "nohana" (non-conforming ohana/accessory unit.) The main house kitchen was remodeled in 2020 with warm wood cabinetry and granite countertops; both units share access to a covered outdoor laundry area, fostering a sense of community. Designed with furry friends in mind, both units have their own fully fenced backyard with ample space to enjoy pet playtime. Each side also includes a free-standing storage unit, a rare amenity for tenants. Addition of up to two conforming ohana units of 600 SF each is allowed (contingent on reversion of the "no-hana" to a garage or addition to the main house living area.) Wai Mahiahai residents enjoy the convenience of nearby Kalama Park's recreational facilities while the adjacent ocean beckons with its endless possibilities for surfing, stand-up paddling, canoeing, and other water activities. Shopping, services, numerous restaurants & public library are also within easy reach. A mile from esteemed Kamali'i Elementary and under two miles to the brand-new state-of-the-art Kulanihakoi High School, this property is ideally situated for growing families. Whether you envision a fulfilling life as an owner-occupant, a responsible investor seeking to perpetuate a sense of community, or an individual with an eye for future development potential, 1816 Malama Street promises an exceptional blend of location, functionality, and the enduring Hawaiian values of caring, respect, and connection.
