Mid-Century Honolulu Oasis minutes from Diamond Head & Waikiki Beach | House in Honolulu

Discover the Mid-Century East Honolulu Oasis Minutes from Diamond Head & Waikiki Beach
Escape the usual tourist accommodations and immerse yourself in a beautifully renovated mid-century ranch-style Hawaiian home, a gem that takes you back in time. This exquisite residence, established in 1948, is nestled at the base of the Aina Haina valley—an area treasured by local families for generations due to its prime location, safety, and accessibility.
Your adventure begins just 20 minutes from the airport, placing all of Honolulu and East Oahu within easy reach. You'll be less than a 10-minute drive to iconic Diamond Head, while vibrant Waikiki is a mere 15 minutes away. Additionally, you can explore the historic charm of Chinatown, just 20 minutes from your doorstep. Here, you can revel in the sun-soaked activities and outdoor excitement that Hawaii offers during the day, then indulge in the rich cultural and culinary experiences that the heart of Honolulu has to offer.
The allure extends further! In the opposite direction, you'll find Hawaii Kai, where you can grab a refreshing shave ice after a day at Koko Head or snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of Hanauma Bay. Venture down the scenic Ka’iwi coast, renowned for its stunning hiking trails and breathtaking coastal views. The dreamy beaches of East Oahu await your discovery, including Eternity Beach, Sandy's, Makapu’u, and Waimanalo Beach Park.
However, the real highlight of your stay will be unwinding with friends and family in your private urban oasis. Although the property is conveniently located near a busy street, you’ll be pleased to discover it is fully enclosed and exceptionally private, surrounded by lush landscaping. Step inside to experience generous indoor and outdoor spaces designed to let the refreshing trade winds flow through the open layout. Relax on the lanai or lounge by the pool while gazing at the clouds drifting over the Ko’olau Mountains in the valley.
This exceptional home has been lovingly maintained by the same local family for four generations and underwent a comprehensive renovation completed in December 2019. It features an architecturally crafted pool house with a saltwater pool, additional sleeping quarters, a separate bathroom, and an outdoor kitchen. The updated design includes a new front lanai, a custom Henrybuilt kitchen, and bar area equipped with SubZero and Wolf appliances, along with custom tile in every bathroom. Dine al fresco, accommodating up to eight guests on the back patio.
Emphasizing eco-friendliness, our home operates entirely on solar energy, achieving a net-zero carbon footprint. The renovations focus on maximizing airflow and natural cooling, promoting conscious power use throughout the property. While both the pool house and master bedroom feature air conditioning, the main house embraces an open-air design enhanced by overhead fans, allowing the delightful fragrances of ocean air, Tahitian gardenia, and night-blooming jasmine to permeate your living space.
