This spectacular oceanfront residence is located on prestigious Lawai Rd. in Poipu, Kauai. Commanding an impressive 300 linear feet of prime oceanfront, this home offers breathtaking panoramic views throughout. Impeccably renovated over two years, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a sanctuary of design and comfort.
Step inside to find soaring vaulted ceilings, warm hardwood floors, and walls of glass that flood the interiors with natural light and frame the mesmerizing seascape. Bespoke finishes and custom designer furnishings by acclaimed Terry Hunzinker Interior Design elevate every corner of this single-story residence, making it as inviting as it is elegant. Air conditioning ensures year-round comfort, while the seamless flow of space, strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and intimacy.
With four ocean view suites, this home offers unparalleled privacy and tranquility. The Primary Suite, located in the far west wing, feels like a private retreat, complete with a custom walk-in closet, a spa-like ensuite featuring a freestanding soaking tub, and a private outdoor shower. On the opposite wing, the additional suites cater to guests with equal luxury. At the heart of the home lies the expansive great room, anchored by a chef’s kitchen that is both functional and artful boasting Taj Mahal quartz countertops, sleek rift-cut white oak cabinetry, a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and dual dishwashers. The adjacent ocean-view living room, with its custom built-ins, vaulted hemlock ceilings, and walls of windows, invites you to relax as waves crash in the distance.
Set in an exclusive enclave of estate-style properties, this residence epitomizes refined island living. Currently a licensed vacation rental, it has been sparingly rented, with the owner’s meticulous care evident throughout. This is more than a home; it’s a rare opportunity to own a coveted retreat in one of Kauai’s most sought-after locations.
