This end-unit, two-story one-bedroom plus loft townhouse rebuilds from the load-bearing walls out — new windows, roofing, 9-foot ceilings, and solar options included. The HOA delivers the shell. You design and finish the interior to your own specifications and budget.

What is My Total Cost All-In?

Interior costs really depend on your choice of finishes, appliances, cabinetry, countertops and overall design level. Note that all interior plumbing and electrical — including rough-in and final set — are the owner’s responsibility and represent a significant component of the overall buildout cost. A local contractor estimates approximately $300 per square foot as a starting point, roughly $270,000 for 900 square feet — however buyers should obtain their own contractor estimates given the full scope of work involved. Budget accordingly for your own taste and lifestyle.

Total All-In Investment Estimate at List Price:
Purchase Price: $898,000
Interior Buildout (900 sqft @ ~$300/sqft): ~$270,000

+ HOA fees and possibly permit fees
Total: ~ approximately $1,170,000

Exceptional value compared to existing finished Puamana units currently listed at $1.635M — with brand new everything built entirely to your specifications.
