146 Kono Pl, Kahului, HI 96732

Impeccably assembled elements of the Old Kahului Railroad Buildings form the basis for this one of a kind architectural wonder. This house is color, art, space, history, light, humor, and style. It's vintage yet hip - a sweet slide down the rabbit hole into an era all but wiped from the slate, yet here, lovingly restored and modernized into a home that delights and surprises with its inimitable Hawaiian soul. See better res pics at http://www.dwellonmaui.info (Pictures taken before tenant vacated. House is now empty of furniture.) Gigantic wood beams and a concrete floor create a grand front room, perfect for making music, entertaining, or painting. Above this sits the airy upstairs bedroom with ocean and mountain views and its own deck. Travel back down the open stairs through to a sunny kitchen with Dacor appliances, high end cabinetry. The ceiling details, and moulding anchor this part of the house firmly in the past, yet the color and modern conveniences of the remodeled kitchen place us squarely in the present. Lore has it that the adjoining parlor with its exquisite period details may have been a bar or restaurant in the Kahului Railroad Buildings - and if this is so, Hawaiian royalty may have dined here. The West Maui Mountains are framed with greenery through the rear garden, planted with low water consuming native grasses and plants. The extra covered lanai space makes this house feel expansive beyond its listed square footage. Do ask your Realtor for the pleasure of a visit to this rare piece of living history.
