About 1697 Haiku Rd
This historic 3-BR, 1-ba ‘Tsuji’ stone house exudes charm and craftsmanship rarely found on Maui. The Haiku property sits on a nearly 1/3-acre non-CPR lot and features a fully permitted detached studio rental, new solar system, new septic system, and new 200-amp underground electrical service—major upgrades that are already completed. The main house was built in 1948 by Nihiko Tsuji and his son, using cut river stone from Maliko Gulch, creating a one-of-a-kind structure with character and durability rarely seen today. Includes split-unit AC, and a lava-stone fireplace. Attached carport provides covered parking and storage. The detached studio rental, built in 2023, features a full kitchen with granite countertops, AC, Murphy bed, laundry, and its own covered deck. Collect rental income or use as private guest accommodations. Large lot features a productive tropical orchard with 14 unique fruit varieties. The spacious backyard features a lush lawn, creating a highly usable outdoor area. A mature avocado tree shades a charming treehouse and play space. Property includes a septic system installed in 2023, new 10kW photovoltaic solar system with battery storage, recently upgraded 200-amp underground electrical service, improving both reliability and aesthetics by eliminating overhead power lines. Desirable North Shore location, the home is 10 minutes from Ho‘okipa Beach Park, 10 minutes from Twin Falls, and a short walk to Pauwela Cannery, home to Baked on Maui, the local hardware store, and the Pauwela Store. Haiku Town Center is a five minute drive with shops, restaurants, and groceries. This property has it where it counts. Rental, septic, solar, landscaping are already complete, leaving the next owner free to simply enjoy the charm of this historic home or add their own personal touches.
