Perched in a prime, quiet location on coveted Upena Street, this thoughtfully designed 2013-built home captures the essence of laid-back oceanfront living without the oceanfront price. Built with the main living level elevated 11 feet above ground, the living room, kitchen, and front lanai all face the ocean—allowing you to see and hear the waves, watch boats pass, and spot dolphins and seasonal whales from your own home. Vaulted ceilings, modern finishes, and an open floor plan create a bright, airy coastal feel. Below, an expansive covered outdoor living space features a lounge area, dining space, BBQ, and private guest bedroom and full bath—perfect for entertaining, family gatherings, or everyday island living. Enjoy the above-ground pool and tropical, fully fenced yard with palms, plumeria, and a Meyer lemon tree. Energy-efficient with owned PV + Tesla battery and residential and agricultural water meters. With Aki's Beach at one end of Upena, Makaha Beach at the other, and public ocean access across the street, this home offers a rare blend of tranquility, ocean connection, and true Makaha lifestyle—where your cares melt away as you listen to the sea.
