71 Makawao Ave APT 5, Makawao, HI 96768

Rare offering at the Gardens Upcountry (first listing there in almost two years), a private, quiet, garden oasis conveniently located off Makawao Avenue, but invisible unless you know it's there. True garden setting with fruit trees, tropical foliage, and a Zen-like setting. Low-volume, low-density property with inspiring views from a beautiful, park-like courtyard area. = Extremely quiet. Ultra-high ceilings and one of the largest footprints (1585 sf) of any 2-bedroom residential condo on island, and the largest square footage at the complex (one of only two). Expansive windows and abundant natural light throughout. True care of ownership is reflected throughout this impeccably maintained residence, with an elegant kitchen remodel and new, high-end, professionally installed luxury vinyl plank flooring completed in 2022. Kitchen renovation features induction cooktop, quartz countertops, and hardwood cabinets. Split AC system was upgraded in 2021 with installation of a huge unit that services living room and kitchen, with additional, individually controlled stations in both bedrooms. Both bedrooms located upstairs, with open floor plan showcasing the living room and kitchen. Private back yard and serene sitting area in front of the unit. Very spacious Master Bedroom features en-suite bathroom with his-and-hers sinks and walk-in closets, and a loft space ideal for storage. Second bedroom has a small sitting lanai. Additional storage abounds throughout the unit. Unique upstairs landing area is ideal for (and currently used as) an office space. Bonus laundry room with stack washer and dryer and extra storage. Private back yard, perfect for BBQ area and pet play. Two assigned parking stalls. Sellers love everything about this unit -- they've simply outgrown the space. Pet friendly (some restrictions). Easy to show.
