The Summit, Kaanapali, Maui


407 Wekiu: Live in Paradise





407 Wekiu is nestled into the hills of the Summit, a gated community within the Kaanapali Golf Estates.


This immaculate home features stunning panoramic ocean and outer island views, and has been extensively upgraded by the current owners with over $300,000 in improvements.  The updates were chosen with great attention to detail and thoughtfulness as to how the home flows and functions.


Downstairs, the bedrooms were tiled with Art Elegant Plank Noce porcelain tile (wood grain) floors (both downstairs bedrooms) to avoid damage from pool traffic, while Mahogany wood floors were installed in the Master Bedroom. The closets were customized with built-ins that were designed to maximize storage. 


They were able to match the new built-in cherry wood entertainment center to the carved staircase.  They've added Persa Avorio granite countertop, Sub Zero refrigerator, built-in cabinetry/entertainment center lighting, sonos sound system and equipment cooling system. 


With a focus on energy efficiency, the upgrades include the addition of 52 Solar Panels.  Upgrades were also made to the pool and spa, and tiki torches added for ambiance.


Now offered at $2,449,000, this represents an incredible value in the Kaanapali Resort.  The flexible floor plan features two bedrooms and a great room that open to the pool and downstairs lanai.  Additionally there are two bathrooms and a laundry room.  Upstairs, you'll find a second living room that opens with pocketing doors to the lanai area--perfect for watching Maui's amazing sunsets and the whales when they are in season.  The Master Suite opens to the ocean view as does the kitchen.  A flex room with an adjacent bathroom can be used as an additional bedroom for overflow guests, an office, media room or a formal dining room.

About the Summit at Kaanapali


The Summit was developed in two parts:  the first being a condominium development of one and two-story cottages with designated yard spaces on 17 acres.  The second is comprised of 36 home sites, allowing for a custom home.  407 Wekiu is one of the custom homes situated at the top of the Summit, and it enjoys incredible views.
