Description
3042 Lauae Place has always been the Sweetheart of the Koloa Estates Community. The home capturres the true essence of Old Hawaii. By design, Mt Hā‘upu can be seen in the distance off the edge of the heated pool. Hā‘upu in the Hawaiian language means "a sudden recollection". The mountain is known for its ability to jolt a memory, or alternatively, "OPEN A VIEW TO THE FUTURE". Perhaps this view is your future? Over an acre of lush tropical vegetation beckons you to wander among the fruiting trees and flowers. As you cross the threshold of the foyer, you will be delighted with the incredible details that set this home in a class of its own. Double Primary suites are like bookends (opposite ends of the home) with the story of life and laughter playing out in real time between the classic indoor and cozy outdoor living environments. Original owners Doug and Joanie Steiner hosted the annual Koloa Estates neighborhood Christmas Party in their lovely home year after year. 5 AC Splits have been added for comfort and climate control. High ceilings with traditional crown molding compliment the darker Merbau hardwood flooring. Two large suites, and an office (or 3rd bedroom with a Murphy bed and a closet) offer privacy and serenity. Additional details: plantation shutters, walk in pantry, generous laundry room, corner gas fireplace, and wrap around lanai eventually bring you to the BBQ Courtyard, 336 SF heated Swimming Pool, and adjacent 3 car garage. One additional homesite is allowed.

About Poipu
  • Poipu is a tourism centered area of Kauai, but has retained much of its local feel & Hawaiian heritage. Preserved Ancient Hawaiian sites and celebrations of the plantation past are important foundations of the community.
     
  • The beaches and surrounding scenery made it a desirable place to not only visit, but live. However, the development did not accelerate until the 1980s.
     
  • Much, but not all, of Poipu is a Visitor Destination Area, allowing owners to rent their homes on a vacation rental basis.
